[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the committee looks at what the parent submitted. [/quote]

I have to assume someone from the AAP program is reading these threads and answering these questions in such an authoritative manner. 
Otherwise it's just a parent-gadfly whose assertions are entitled to zero credibilty. [/quote]

The question that I asked, and that the poster responded to, was about the GBRS committee at the school. It was not about the central selection committee. [/quote]

the point remains. Who answered the question? [b]Someone who knows what he/she is talking about[/b]?[/quote]

The person had stated that they had participated on a number if these committees. [b]On DCUM people aren't usually going to give their name and exact credentials. I think you need to have a certain amount of faith or trust to productively participate in an anonymous forum. I am assuming that the majority are honest and well-meaning parents and professionals.[/b] While I'm sure there are exceptions, I would rather be mislead occasionally than to view every statement with mistrust. If I needed information to make some sort of critical decision then obviously I would confirm it another way.[/quote]

I am the person who posted about the committee process and included the link to the GBRS form. I am an FCPS administrator and have sat on the school screening committees both as a teacher and as an administrator. On behalf of my colleagues, we really are trying our best and put a great deal of time, energy and consideration to this process. Is it a perfect program? Absolutely not, and that's all I say on that topic.

My goal everyday is to meet the needs of ALL the children at my school regardless of their WISC,NNAT, CogAT or GBRS score. I think we do a pretty good job, and we do even better when we work in collaboration with parents. Best wishes to all of you for a safe summer. [/quote]
