[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if we are zoned to it as the neighborhood school and DC is TAG identified? If you "lose" at the lottery, do you still get some sort of TAG services at your neighborhood school? I thought kids did, it just wasn't center-based, it was pull-out or something. I thought that if that was the case then DC would have automatic placement into the TAG center if it was at the school DC was zoned to. Or is it lottery or nothing for any type of TAG services? That would be kind of crummy if there is no differentiation or anything if you lose at the lottery. [/quote]

Sorry, I misread your post.   OK, I'm not positive about this.  But I believe that all kids who qualify for the TAG designation, get some kind of TAG service, depending on which type of school they are at.   There is a lottery for the TAG schools, which (except for Glen Arden Woods ES) are only partially TAG, otherwise they are "comprehensive".   If you happen to live in the zone for that school, if your child doesn't "win" the lottery for TAG placement there, as it is his/her neighborhood school anyhow, if he/she attends there in ES they will probably place him/her into the TAG class anyhow.   This is because they wouldn't want to fund a specialized pull out class for 2 hours a week, just for one or two kids.

But I do not know if the same is true for middle school.   Do not look for our County's programs to make a lot of sense.   [/quote]
