I am not as familir with the process of getting a kid switched over to a gifted program, but gifted does fall under the general umbrella of ESE and I know getting a kid into an ESE classroom can take the better part of a year sometimes. It's crappy that the staffing specialist has to cover more than one school. I am willing to bet that the ESE teachers there are not happy about not having that resource there fulltime either.

Have you tried writing a letter CC: principal and all concerned? That way if you should have a formal complaint against whomever is the inefficient person is, there is a record in their system. I complained this week via a letter, attention to the person and CC: all people concerned. To think that I was only complaining of an inefficient library system. That must have jolted people out of their oblivion and everybody in school knows about it. hahaha. Shouldn’t they be tested alot earlier though?

It took them so long to get everything done that he did not enter the program until the first day of 6th grade. My daughter was tested in the beginning of May during her 4th grade year and entered the program near the end of October in her 5th grade year. This is ridiculous, it should not take them this long to implement the children into these programs. My son was tested in March of his 5th grade year.
