I have asked this question more than a few times on here including in the most recent private versus public thread, but I don't believe I have ever seen the answer. Let's try to clear this up once and for all.

 

In Kentucky, a freshman entering high school can choose to attend any high school he or she wants and play sports - public or private. The exception is districts that have chosen to exclude out of district students.

 

What school districts in the state will not allow out of district students to attend their high school(s)?

 

The only one I am certain about in N. Ky. is Boone County.

Doesn't the rule go into effect this coming school year that 7th graders have to select their high school that they will attend?

Which is absolute communism if true!

Boone does allow some "out of district" kids in. If one of the parents works in the system you are allowed in and if you live in district and you have almost any issue at any of Boone, Conner, Cooper, or Ryle the system will allow you to transfer to another one of the district schools.

In Boone County or are you saying this is a state wide rule? If so first I have heard about it and I don't know how it would work, either locally or state wide.

State wide, this was passed a few years ago and takes effect 2014-2015 school year I thought.

I thought that was voted down.

That 7th grade declaration rule would be good for high school sports and stop all of the garbage. Trust me, alot of "garbage" goes on in high school athletics. The KHSAA also needs to start getting serious about transfer enforcement, because right now it's a joke!

Name any county with 1 school in it. There are several.

It would be a waste of time because you could always move, change your mind, be a part of a divorce, sue, etc.

Please name one. Then answer this question. If a student who lived in a neighboring county wanted to attend that county school, would they allow it?

Rockcastle and Jackson

 

Yes to the question. The deal is the KEES money. If a Jackson kid wanted to go to Rock while still living in Jackson then the Rock admin would need to ask Jackson for the KEES money. Jackson doesn't have to send it. Rock could still take them even at that point. Or even charge a tuition to offset.

Clark and Montgomery

This is from the Shelby County District with (2) High Schools: Collins and Shelby County

 

ASSIGNED DISTRICT

All pupils shall be assigned by attendance areas and will attend the school designated to serve their area of residence. Each attendance area will be marked on a map in the central administration office. The Board may revise attendance areas from time to time to attain maximum utilization of school facilities.

 

Educational guardianships, Powers of Attorney, Out-of-Attendance Area Waivers and similar documents signed by a parent attempting to establish residency of a student in a geographic attendance zone or in a school other than their home school shall not in and of themselves serve to establish residency for extracurricular activities. Approval for extracurricular activities in theses cases may be granted by the Superintendent/designee.

 

IF FAMILIES MOVE

 

If a family moves from one attendance area to another within the school system during the school year, the pupil may continue in the school in which s/he was last enrolled provided no hardships are created and approval has been granted by the Principals and the Director of Pupil Personnel. Transportation arrangements shall be made by the parents or guardian at no expense to the Board. Upon moving, if a pupil withdraws, enrolls, and attends school in the new attendance area, s/he will not be permitted to re enroll or attend the school previously attended unless the parents or guardians re establish residence in that attendance area.

I agree that districts that close off do it to themselves to a certain degree. (which punishes themselves athletically) The one thing about that is the STATE decides which district receives a students KEES money by their address in one district or another.

Call me old school or whatever you want, but I played sports in an era when there was a sense of community. Teammates grew up together and played on the same little league teams. There was very little "school jumping". Championships were built from within, not artificially manufactured. In this sad era of HS sports, it seems that the sense of community is lost/gone/missing. It's all about winning at all costs. Everyone wants the ring. I simply think that the playing field should be level for HS contests. That's it, very simple. Why should one school have a distinct advantage over another simply because they have open enrollment? Let them compete against other open enrollment schools. That levels things out. What's so wrong with that? I asked Dale Mueller one time.......Does it give your school an advantage having open enrollment? Without blinking, he said, ABSOLUTELY! No sour grapes here, just believe in level weights, just like wrestling.
