Gifted & Talented Appeal Process
The parent/guardian may appeal decisions in writing to the Director of Gifted and Talented within 10 school days of receiving the letter of recommendation. The letter of appeal must request a district level meeting to seek a resolution. At the meeting, the parent/guardian may present data showing the need for gifted identification or gifted programming options. Following the meeting, the Director of Gifted and Talented and/or designee will consult with the student’s classroom teacher(s), and the school’s administration to determine their recommendation. The parent/guardian will be notified within five school days of the meeting.
If the parent/guardian is dissatisfied with the recommendation from the Director of Gifted and Talented, an appeal may be made in writing to the Chief Student Success Officer within 10 school days of receiving the letter of recommendation. The Chief Student Success Officer will review the process and evidence and will respond in writing to the parent/guardian within 10 school days of receiving the letter of appeal. The decision of the Chief Student Success Officer shall be final.
