We have already sent in our official exemption request to the state office to be allowed to test off site. The restrictions are you must have a way to lock up the tests through out the trip, you must have a certified teacher to administer each test (for example on Thursday there is a 9th, 10th and 11th grade test, so if you have students from all those grades you would need 3 certified teachers with 3 different testing locations), and you have to have a way to ensure your students can not have any communication with students back home until your school has finished with the test. Filing the paperwork is pretty easy, it's the waiting that will be hard. In past years we have filled the paperwork in September and not gotten an answer until January. If anyone needs help with this process please feel free to PM me and I can try to walk you through it better.
