Resolving a Scheduling Conflict with a CDE

At times, students participating in CDEs may have a scheduling conflict with another event. Please answer the following questions to see if your CDE team may be able to "swap" sections to resolve the scheduling conflict. All "swaps" must be made and communicated to the CDE office by Sunday, March 15 at Noon CDT using the process below.

Does the scheduling conflict involve a CDE?

  1. CHECK WHAT'S POSSIBLE: If your conflict involves a CDE, see if the CDE offers multiple time slots/sections based on District numbers.
  • If yes, would swapping with a school from a different time slot/section/District solve the issue?
  • If yes, see which schools have been identified from that other section:

View schools in qualifying CDEs. (Schools are added to this list by district chairs before March 2nd.)

View schools already registered in non-qualifying CDEs.  (Schools are added to this list during registration, which concludes on March 9th.)

EXCEPTIONS: Ag Issues Forum, Marketing Plan, Ag Sales, and Ag Communications are scheduled events. The order of schools within the posted event timeframe will be communicated after registration closes (links available on the CDE Schedule). If needed, work with other schools and the specific event superintendent to request a different report time.

  1. FIND A SWAP: Contact the teacher with whom you would like to swap to see if they would agree with the change.
    TIP: To easily do so from the links above, click the "Email District XX Participants" button and then click the "Copy Contact List" button and paste the email addresses into a new email. You may copy multiple districts' email addresses after pasting them into an email. (Alternatively, you may access the Teacher Directory to access the teacher directory and manually access the email addresses.)
  2. REPORT YOUR SWAP: If a teacher says “yes” to swapping with you, complete this Swap Confirmation Form before March 15 at noon CT.  The form will automatically email you and the teacher you swapped with a confirmation. Only swaps submitted to the form above are valid. Contact nebraskacde@gmail.com with questions. (It is NOT necessary to contact the CDE superintendent.) 

If you answer “no” to any of the questions above, see if you can adjust the other event with which you have the conflict. If that is not possible, you will likely have to coach your student(s) through a potentially difficult decision as they decide which event they will give up and in which event they will participate.

Does the scheduling conflict involve something other than a CDE?

If so, please contact Donnie Wolters with FFA at donniewolters@gmail.com.
