Compromise Reached

[sticku]

"They have finally reached a compromise with the Private schools. From now on Private schools have their Catholic feeder middle schools only that they can bring in kids from. Kids have to attend 7th and 8th grades at these Catholic feeder middle schools to be eligible at the Private school. If a kid comes to the Private school without attending the feeder program then he/she will be ineligible for all athletic activities (Varsity, JV, or Freshman) for two years.

 

Only exception is 1A private schools. They will have a 20 mile radius to get kids from."

 

 

That comes from inside the room!

Interesting...

I feel that same criteria should be for public schools. You don't attend the MS and have not changed your residence and you sit 2 years.

I wonder what will happen when some kid and his parents decide to challenge it in court?

Funny, your inside the room does not match reports in papers. You left off that it goes both ways - kids that leave private schools that go public will be treated the same way. Ouch! That's going to hurt!

 

And there is still no compromise. The privates think two years is too much.

""We believe that's far too drastic," said , Public Schools will think that way too once they figure out this applies to them.

 

20 miles - Private schools without clear feeder systems would have those feeders designated by the KHSAA board of control. Lex Cath, Trinity, X, etc.

 

"Sr. Bernadette McManigal, superintendent of the Archdiocese of Lexington schools, suggested there's still plenty of work to do.

 

"I would imagine," she said "it's far from over."

I wonder if the same rule would apply to out of state kids who are attending public schools ? Teams like Belfry who border another state would need to have the same rule put in place for them. Out of state kids would have to be in the middle school feeder program as well. Would'nt they ????

...Very good question and in my opinion, any family that would challenge this has a strong argument and possibly a judgment on their side.

 

What will they do with the new kids who enroll after the school year starts, or a student-athlete who suddenly decides to play varsity sports, in his Sophomore year but went to a different middle school program....I have mixed feelings about this entire uproar anyway.

 

Are some of these school officials and Board of Control arguing on behalf of the student-athlete.....or to help their own school.

Under the public-school members' proposal, a student who attends sixth, seventh and eighth grades in a high school's feeder system would have to go that high school to be eligible to play sports immediately. A student who left the feeder system for another high school would be ineligible for sports at any level for two years. The ban would apply to students at public and non-public schools.

So it is the school or being members of the parishes.

Yeah, as soon as a catholic school boy can't afford X and Trinity and has to go to Ballard and cannot play there will be the biggest lawsuits. Also can they not play Frosh or JV since they are really not sanctioned by the KHSAA they are sort of self governed.

Paper said ANY LEVEL. And I am not sure how that will turn out in a court of law.

 

I know there have been rulings concerning drug testing and grades, that playing HS athletics is a privilege and not a right. Not sure how that will translate to this issue.

 

Sitting out for transferring seems to have held up. Is this much different?

[Tough as Nails]

According to the Lexington Paper (Herald-Leader) nothing was decided:

 

"After nine hours of give-and-take yesterday, nothing was resolved by representatives of public and private schools who came together as a task force to find compromise in their debate over whether to split into separate post-season championships"

 

"Each side made a proposal, and each will be voted on by all members of the task force. Those results will be reported to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association's Board of Control. KHSAA Commissioner Brigid DeVries then will take the report to the Kentucky Board of Education in early February to get its reaction."

"Many of the 15 private school representatives on the task force felt yesterday's negotiations didn't go as advertised. They thought they might be able to come back Jan. 17 for further talks."

 

Imagine that. Even when the KHSAA tries to do something the right way, they screw it up.

According to a person on the inside, it is a done deal. They have to clean some things up and make it look pretty.

 

The rules would apply to EVERY school in the state and schools can not have out of state feeder middle schools.

Would foreign exchange students be exempted? And have to follow the present rules for foreign exchange athletes?
