I think if it's actually unsafe to go to school, then you accept the consequences for your decision as a parent. Not making up a test pales in comparison to dying in a wreck.
I'm also in a district where you just have to be present for a half day the day of an activity to participate. If it was unsafe to go to school, then it's unsafe to go to debate.
