Steph or others, Is Max's information correctly presented about
the Sept 09 test being the last one pre-new program and Nov 1st
deadline as well.

Secondly, if someone is on the alternative certification route
already in a different subject area and is wanting to do early
childhood or special education, how does the deadline effect him
or her? I mean, the altern. ed. certification process is going
through, but the jobs available require more tests for
certification. Do they need to be taken pre-Nov 1?
