[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]However, my neighbor who was a 2nd grade teacher at the local school says that [b]there was a committee meeting where you really need a teacher to stand up for the child.[/b]  [/quote]

The committee at the local school is the Local School Advanced Academic Screening Committee.

[b]Who serves on the Local School Advanced Academic Programs Screening Committee?[/b]
The Local School Advanced Academic Programs Screening Committee consists of at least three people to include the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, principal/administrator designee, and classroom teacher(s).  A guidance counselor, reading teacher, media specialist, ESOL teacher, and/or other specialists may also serve on the committee.

So...is it at the local level the candidates are discussed and then put forth to the central committee with the local committee recommendation or something like that?[/quote]

All students in the 2nd grade pool AND students that have been referred all go to the Central Selection Committee.  The Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) coordinates the assembly of the portfolio, which is sent on to the Central Selection Committee.  Often, but not always, the Local School Advanced Academic Programs Screening Committee has input into elements of the portfolio that are submitted by the AART.[/quote]
