No argument. I'm saying she new early she was coming. Season ended in March and she had her application in before April 1.

 

correct

If someone wanted to challenge this transfer, there are multiple bases to do so. The KHSAA bylaws allow that an exception MAY be granted (i.e. allow transfer of a varsity player in grades 9-12 to play without sitting out a year) but SHALL NOT be granted IF the transferring student plays for an AAU team and transfers to a school where the AAU coach is employed (Query: how was she ever eligible to play at Notre Dame to begin with?) OR if the change in schools is motivated "in whole or part to participate in athletics at the new school".

 

Applied here, if Jenna Martin's transfer to Highlands is even PARTLY motivated by a desire to play basketball at Highlands, the exclusion shall be denied, and she is ineligible.

 

I believe the situation will be resolved because no one is going to lodge a complaint because she is transferring TO Highlands, and she will play her senior year at Highlands. Good luck to her and the Bluebirds. If its a good fit, and the Martins and the existing team at Highlands benefit from it, I say good for them. Highlands is a top notch school system, and if she thinks it is best for her there, then so be it as far as I am concerned.

 

The only other comment I will make is that this is NOT the same as the Holy Cross situation, in that we are talking about different bylaws and allegations. No one has ever, to my knowledge, alleged that ANY of the players at Holy Cross were ineligible under bylaw 6. I think I am correct in stating that the only varsity player in grades 9-12 that transferred in to Holy Cross was Deja Turner, and she sat out her junior year.

 

Here are the relevant portions of the KHSAA bylaw:

Sec. 2) DISCRETIONARY EXCEPTIONS FOR WAIVER

a) BONA FIDE CHANGE IN RESIDENCE- The period of ineligibility

may be waived if there has been a bona fi de change in residence

by the parents and student that precedes a student’s change of

schools.

For purposes of this bylaw, a bona fi de change of residence

means the uninterrupted moving of the permanent residence

of the entire family unit of the student as composed when the

student was eligible at the sending school (including one or both

parents if at that residence) from one school district or defined

school attendance area into another school district or defined

school attendance area prior to a change in enrollment of the

student. To be considered bona fi de, the change must remain

uninterrupted for the entire period during which the student

would have been ineligible if the exception was not applied. A

student who becomes emancipated does not have a bona fi de

change of residence by virtue of his or her emancipation and

change of residence for purposes of satisfying this exception.

Determinations of whether a student shall be granted a waiver

pursuant to this exception shall be based on the circumstances

existing as of the date of enrollment at the new school.

Sec. 3) SPECIFIC RESTRICTIONS RESULTING IN DENIAL OF WAIVER

Satisfying of one of the exceptions (Section 2, a through i) shall

not be considered valid and a waiver of the period of ineligibility

shall not be granted:

d) If a student participates on nonschool (i.e. AAU, American

Legion, club settings, summer program, etc.) team that is

affi liated with or coached by a coach associated in that same

sport at a member school and the student then transfers to the

member school where a coach is employed (paid or volunteer

at any level);

e) If the change in schools is motivated in whole or part by a desire

to participate in athletics at the new school;

Yes can be for the same reason, the girls from NCC went to Ryle and now her Gma lives in Newport that's a pretty good hike for her to go back to Ryle.

Jenna was not transferring until the ND coach resigned, if he was still there she would be playing at ND and that happened after April 1. I know you think I am against HHS I am not at all, but I do believe this stuff has to stop.

Agreed the HC thing is completely different. In the HC situation, no one is challenging the bylaw of residency or even eligibility.

HHS has had no approval meetings to approve tuition students after April 1st.

Then how is she enrolled?

Obviously she applied prior to the deadline

if you say so, but don't think so.

If she moved into the district she is not a tuition student, she is a resident of the district entitled to attend the public school.

Then how is she enrolled?

 

Like Clyde stated. She would of had to enroll/apply before April 1st. My brother had 2 of his sons go through Highlands and both play football. My brother lives in Villa Hills. His daughter wanted to go to Highlands before last school year and missed the Deadline date of April 1st for Tuition so she opted to go to Notre Dame instead. She's pretty good golfer! Even with sending 2 kids through the system, the FTIS district said they wouldn't make an exception. So why not use Grandma's address? With our last name I don't think that would fly.....I would hate to have a visit from Mark Goetz(The Tuition Police):jump: So yes, sometimes School systems do play by the rules! So my guess is that they are moving into the District or like was stated above that she knew the whole time that she was headed to Ft Thomas and Applied in March! Just my 2 Cents!

You all don't think Highlands is going to dot all i's and cross all t's when it comes to transfers?! Nobody wants another Mitchell debacle. Ain't nobody got the time or the money for that!
