We're hearing from middle school parents who've had happy news from a Manhattan citywide gifted and talented school -- but, as of Monday, hadn't yet had word regarding district G&Ts in their Brooklyn neighborhood.
The deadline to accept offers at citywide gifted and talented middle schools is tomorrow, but the decision is impossible to make with incomplete information -- without knowing the local options. (Attending the citywide in Manhattan would involve a commute of at least an hour each way for one family in this situation.) So the day before a critical deadline, families don't have all the information they need to make informed choices for their children.
Whether or how the Department of Education plans to respond to their own notification delays isn't yet known -- but if you're a prospective middle-school parent still waiting for G&T placement news from your district schools, please let us know.
