[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot opt out. You can remove your child from school but it will have to be for the whole testing period -- which includes an extra week or so for makeups I believe.[/quote] Not true. I opted out of the MSA for my child. All I had to do was write a letter to the principal stating that I was refusing to permit my child to sit for the MSA. I had reasons (which I prefer not to discuss because they identify us). The school wanted my child to take the exam, but acknowleged at the end of our discussion that I could write a letter refusing to participate and they would not be able to test my child. If I just held my DC out of school as "sick", the school would have just gone ahead and tested DC upon DC's return. But, because I wrote the letter, the school couldn't test DC. [/quote]
