<p>There are hs in VA that now determine val/sal by auditions... Interesting concept.... IMO, if you're in the VA Commonwealth Governor's School, you can get pushed out of the #1 or #2 spot by a student who's not taking the same rigorous load that a Governor's School student is required to take..Many feel that this is not fair, either - so let the kids audition who want to give a graduation address....</p>
