Does anyone know of a gender breakdown of referrals vs. in-pool, and/or the number of AAP girls vs. boys?  [/quote]

AAP girls vs. boys (among other data) from one of the July 15, 2013 work session documents:

The entire set of documents from that work session are attached to the BoardDocs agenda item:

Thank you! I looked at the first document and see that overall AAP percentages are 51.9% male and 48.1% female. So about a 4% difference in favor of more males. I wonder if more parent referrals are for girls as I've seen anecdotally at our school, and even then the final percentage found eligible is skewed. In the interest of our daughters (and highly verbal sons), I would review NNAT and FxAT test results carefully by gender before proposing to eliminate parent referrals.[/quote]
