Is this list of possible proctors correct:
Person A - mother of an infant.
Person B - Core teacher.
Person C - Test Coordinator
Person D - mother of a 10th grader
Williams
No!
Person C can't proctor because test coordinators can't proctor.

People who get paid to do HSAT/GoCPS coaching.
People with a child who is taking the HSAT or a member of their household taking the HSAT.

Can this happen during testing? Why or why not.
No!
ALL students have to start each session together.
