See... I knew that was what they would say... we will have a hundred people lined up at the door asking for the same...... We got the same concern.... but, luckily, that was covered in the IAS and I pointed it out to them

Don't worry, like I said, we were a first also, and we got our way in the end. It is an uphill battle, but stay strong, be knowledgable, polite, but, tactfully assertive and you really can move mountains. Don't let the fact that it's never been done deter you. Find out what your state policy is and even look into talking to an educational advisor at the state level and see what they can do to help your case. The school is hoping you aren't aware that such things exist!
