My son mae the G&T cutoff but we were 100% sure we were moving and so didn't follow through. Now it turns out that we are not moving... I'm going out of my mind! Is there anything I can do? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Oh, no. So sorry. What District are you in? I don't think there's any way to get into G&T for K, but you could try next year [ Reply | More

Suggest emailing Anna Commitante at DOE and explaining the situation. If there are spots at schools you're interested in that aren't taken after the responses are due, maybe they'll let your dc have one of those spots. [ Reply | More

i think it's worth a phone call. they are giving unfilled seats to those who move here over the summer. your case isn't that much different. [ Reply | More

^i mean, in some ways op is to be commended for not sending in rankings as a backup and taking a spot from someone else. posters tend to go apesh&t around here for that sort of behavior. [ Reply | More

The OP's case is not at all similar to newly arriving kids. [ Reply | More

i agree with that. doesn't hurt to ask. I'll bet there will be spots at ps111 and some of the newly added G&T programs. If OP would take that and not expect Anderson or Nest, there's a good chance of getting a spot at a newly added G&T. [ Reply | More
