Texas just started offering a make-up day for their high stakes tests to help schools out with NCLB and the AYP report cards for schools that count missed tests as equivilant to a zero for the school. That being said, I doubt very seriously that many principals or district administrations are going to allow students to miss the test.

I see your choices as only two:

A) Take only seniors who have passed all exams. 11th grade is the exit level test and they should have passed it then.

2) Attend a second regional in lue of the Championship event in Atlanta.


Here in Edgewood, this will be our first time at nationals, we are taking a dozen seniors and consider it a right of passage.

While in S. San, just the other side of the Air base, they are going to a Florida regional as they have been to nationals the last three years.
