[QUOTE="keista, post: 519346, member: 11965"] It's called an EP. Works exactly like an IEP, but ther is no "protection" because it's not needed. Just sets up goals and the "accommodations" that might be used to reach those goals. It provides a paper trail to show where funding may be being channeled for gifted student programs. Both my girls have this. If it weren't for lowered criteria for students demonstrating economic need, I'd only have one child in the program, which is crazy because the one who wouldn't qualify is still head and shoulders above ALL he classmates in intelligence and accomplishment and yeah, gets crazy bored. Gifted programs are "enrichment" and they are not legally required/mandated. If schools don't have the funds, they don't even bother with such programs. This past year DD1 was offered the opportunity to "skip a grade" but only in Reading or Math via a Virtual school program. If acceleration is really desired, homeschooling or virtual schooling is an option. [/QUOTE]
