It is also important for him to take a social studies/history course each year, so if he delays govt, be sure to plug in something else. Also, the French teacher may have some creative solutions. My son and 3 or 4 classmates were in a similar situation for 10th grade, when French 2 conflicted with the only honors math section. The French teacher didn’t want to lose all her honors students, and decided to skip them all into French 3, bringing in a fluent upperclass student to work with them the first few weeks.
Although that may not work for your son, perhaps she will have another solution, like an independent study course, where he acts as teacher aide for one of her classes and does some readings on his own. I think this option would work best if he is fairly enthusiastic about the language and wants to continue it his senior year. It would help keep him fresh to take French 4 then.
