Students take the gradua

in their junior year. The
Writing portion of the test is
given in the fall and the
other four content area tests

adopted this way to enable
members to raise money for
local charities and service
organizations - Operation
Round Up. The electric
cooperative’s members con
tribute nearly $300,000
annually to the Flint
Energies Foundation, which
supports worthy causes in
the 16 counties it serves.
Operation Roundup is a way
for members to add volun
tarily to those funds in their
own unique way.
Participating members
allow Flint Energies to
“round-up” their bill to the
nearest dollar. For example,
if a bill is $92.71, a member
will pay $93, with all 29
cents going directly to the
Flint Energies Foundation.
On average, a member will
contribute $6 a year, but
never more than $ll.BB. If a
member decides not to par
ticipate or chooses to discon
tinue contributions at any
time, they may simply con
tact Flint Energies. Nearly
80 percent of Flint’s mem
bers have chosen to partici-
tunities to take each of the
tests before the end of their
12th grade year.
Students must pass each
portion of the test. Students
who do not pass all the
required tests but have met
all other graduation require
ments may be eligible for a
Certificate of Performance*
