So if tuition is $5000, you can't get a $5000 scholarship but you can get 5-$1000 scholarships? Makes sense. That's fair. You still don't pay anything. All one has to do is read the recorder newspaper and see all these scholarships people are "winning".

 

What would happen if a kid in Independence won a $1000 scholarship to the high school of his choice, and his choice was to use it towards out of district tuition to Highlands? I don't think it would fly. But it's fine if it's for the private school? Goes on all the time.

 

Oh my the cluelessness. Yes read the Recorder and note all those $500 scholly winners based on high score on the placement test. That goes a long way towards $8000 a year tuition.

 

You know how you can tell there is no one getting a free ride and playing sports at a private school???? Because there were be so much outcry from the other parents that were paying tuition.

KHSAA says athletes cannot get more than 25% scholarship $$. That would seem to invalidate the 5 $1,000 example.

 

If an organization gave a boy from Independence a $1k scholarship with no rules on how it is used then it would , indeed, fly at Highlands or Beechwood or any other public school.

What world are you living in? This is NOT happening. :ohbrother:

The KHSAA has to clearly define times of the year so they can say when rules apply. Summer is a gray area so IMO they chose to specifically define the athletic year as basically dead period to the end of the school year. So that gap allows for SOME of their bylaws to be inactive.

 

It does NOT mean schools can recruit during that period. It does mean that coaches can coach. Kids can run open gym with other schools. Kids are NOT tied to one school at that particular time.

 

It all changes when the dead period starts.

 

I am amazed. This is the KHSAA at it's finest. Considering recruiting rules are directly tied to enrollment, I am not sure how the KHSAA could enforce any recruiting violations. Every single part of bylaw 16 is on the basis of whether or not a kid is enrolled in your school or your feeder school. If this is the case, June is open season for recruiting. If enrollment rules are not in effect then bylaw 16 cannot be in effect.

Unless that family didn't want to be the "bell ringer" due to putting thier child thru it.

 

Maybe they knew it was happening, but weighed the other consequences and said it wasn't worth the trouble. Because I'm pretty sure that has happened this past year, hearing thru pretty reliable sources.

 

So how does some of these inner city kids that never attended a catholic school or has ties to the church end up affording to go a private school? I'm talking about kids that couldn't afford ANY tuition.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Bylaw 24 covers this. More specifically, Case Bylaw-24-3 Paragraph 3

This is one of the things I'm trying to understand...if June is open season, I'm missing the boat!!! So are many others!!

Open season for what?

Open season for what?

 

Getting kids to work out with you. If enrollment is not in effect and kids are not attached to any school from end of school til dead period, then it's not recruiting inviting kids to come to workout with your team and school. (For the record, I believe this must be covered somewhere, but I would like to hear how they cover it.)

I am not sure. Bylaw 16 is about recruiting and enrollment is the key to the bylaw. I believe the Bylaw 24 - 3 paragraph refers more to insurance and liability.

Recruiting rules are in effect.

 

Alright. I am just having a really difficult time understanding how this is possible with no enrollment rules.

Recruiting rules are in effect.

 

I'm not looking anything up, so forgive me. Just following along here. But Builder's point is if recruiting is based off enrollment and there is no enrollment during that period, how is there anything governing recruiting/inviting players during that period.

Unfortunately, someone might need to spell it out MORE CLEARLY to get to the real issue here. Maybe change the name of the school and what's going on, and then we can get down to the krucks of the problem. :whistling:

 

I know some of the story, but can't do the full story justice.
