We live in the same state as Ivy, and mandatory state testing was one of the things that kept us with our cyberschool. Basically, we'd have HAD to test DD and pay for the privilege out of our own pockets... (truly not kidding)
and she wouldn't have been eligible for accommodations in her testing environment... meaning that her safety would have been seriously at risk while we did our level best to comply with state law.
No thanks.
Exemptions here are pretty unusual. In other places, it's not that difficult to accomplish legal compliance without jumping through a more-or-less useless hoop.
