I need some advice on what to do. In the past our school always offered the PSAT on a Saturday and anyone could take it. This year since the College Board is only allowing it on Wednesday the school is only allowing 11th graders to take the test because of 'space limitations' no exceptions, though I did tried to get them to make an exception. My 10th grade son will be taking the SAT in March and needs to take the PSAT this year. All the surrounding school districts are allowing 9th - 11th graders to take the PSAT so I was advised by our school district to have him take the PSAT in a neighboring school district.
After getting the run around for several days and many calls to the GC, AP's Office and Attendance Office I am now being told that taking the PSAT will be an UNEXCUSED absence and they even equated it with taking a day off from school to attend a local music festival! I am livid! I have an emailed the Principle but am not hopeful. I'm thinking of writing to the school board but not sure if it would help, any suggestions?
