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.
Me: Yes.
