@theloniusmonk I should have worded that better. Her school meets the basic standard. However, my understanding is that schools must be headed in the direction of full HB5 implementation (i.e.CS as foreign lang, offering all 5 Endorsements, etc.). Understandingly, this takes time and resources. In the meantime, schools must apply for waivers and/or file plans of how/when HB5 will be fully implemented. My son’s school district is huge and has lots of resources so his hs has fully implemented HB5 including all of the endorsements. However, the much smaller district my husband works in only offers the minimum multidisciplinary endorsement but has plans for full implementation.
Thank you for mentioning his diabetes. Yes, it is a disability. On the SAT/ACT, he will not receive xtra time, but he will be able to take breaks whenever needed without losing test time. This is crazy important for him and all students with Type1 because if his blood sugars drop suddenly or spike suddenly, he loses focus and becomes foggy. How he has been able to be so successful in his academics/athletics while managing T1 is simply beyond my understanding. The kid amazes me.
