Earning the credits via AP tests saves not only time in college, but also tuition money that doesn t have to go toward the introductory credit hours. Crislip said the Hawaii DOE contacted the Educational Testing Service, which administers the AP test, to advise the service of the strike. ETS is giving Hawaii schools an extra week for testing, she said, with schools to decide on their own if they want to reschedule. I m so thankful, Crislip said, adding that ETS has waived late fees for Hawaii students who will take the tests.
Feelings are mixed among Maui County seniors about their lost time and activities.
Lahainaluna senior Cassie Suetos said, It s actually no problem they will not get extra days off in their last week of school for catching up and graduation practices. We re really pressed on time, said classmate Tami Karimoto. King Kekaulike s graduation is scheduled for May 31, and seniors will attend school until May 30, said Principal Susan Scofield. Before the strike revised all of the timetables, Karimoto said the last day of classes was to be May 25. The seniors were to be back on campus on the 29th and 30th to practice for their graduation, she said.
