Huge problem for Florida high schools as the FCAT (FL Comprehensive Assessment Test) schedule appears to conflict. Palm Beach County Schools (& I believe high schools throughout the state) are administering the 11th grade Science portion that week. Believe me that our students will not be excused from this testing.

Any thoughts from other FL teams?
Michigan teams have a similar problem with the Detroit regional being during Junior Testing, and Great Lakes being during the make up week.

Counting both Junior testing and Easter weekend as major conflicts (though I suppose some teams won't see Easter weekend that way as they like regionals where students don't have to miss as much school) nine of my team's ten closest regionals fall on weekends with major conflicts.

PS - Does anyone know if the page that shows the team capacity for each regional is up yet?
