Very Satisfied, Not Very Knowledgeable
Your child is identified as a gifted student - the student has a Gifted IEP - and you find yourself very satisified with the the progress they're making in school. Parents in this category tend to not participate in the gifted education process, they are inclined to  approve the district's recommendations at Gifted IEP meetings   They 'go with the flow'.
 
If you are very satisfied with your gifted child's educational progress but not very knowledgeable about Gifted Ed regulations, you should still take the time to read and understand the basics of Pennsylvania's gifted ed system.
 
If your child's situation changes, if you become less satisfied, then this knowledge will help.  You will have a better understanding of your potential role in the gifted ed process in case you need to become more actively involved.  
 
Learning the basics of Gifted Ed takes about 20-30 minutes.  The links are provided below.  Once you inform yourself regarding the basics of the gifted education system, you will be better able to stay satisfied
