There is no way that your school is going to give your students permission to travel rather than take the MME. This test is absolutely required for students to take.

The makeup date is during Spring Break for many districts, and the State Board of Ed didn't budge. They're not going to give a waiver because of "some robotics competition".

This should not have been a surprise - it was on our school calendar from September. It was also posted here on CD before regional registration.
