Magnet Applications:  A Month Off

1/20/2017

 
Parent:  My child took one of the two tests a year ago in November.  Do they have to take it again?

Me:  Yes.

Parent:  Why?

Me:  The district requires test scores to be within a 12 month window.  A year ago in November puts it at 13 months.

Parent:  An exception cannot be made?

Me:  Correct.  No exceptions.

Parent:  That's what the clerk, the other G/T coordinator, and the G/T Department secretary said, but I didn't believe them.  I thought since it was just a month, there would be some wiggle room.

Me:  There is no wiggle room.  Our rules are very clear on this point.

Parent:  Is there someone else I can talk to?

Me:  To get a different answer?

Parent:  Yes.

Me:  No.
