I wonder how many parish representatives have reached out to the family to offer a SPEEDY membership? Maybe a line forming this am on the family propery of nuns, priests, altar boys, uniformed school children, all bearing paperwork, merch, and rosaries for everyone?

If we are talking about the boy from Beechwood mentioned before, he did attend St Pius X for elementary school.   Not saying I am for or against what he is doing, just stating a fact. 

He attended parochial schools early, then went to a public high school for education  but only until after his freshman basketball  season when the top PG in the region graduates does religion suddenly matter to the family.

 

Makes sense. 

Does anyone know how you can transfer into a private school and be eligible immediately?  I assume from going back and reading our old thread on it, it is a Bylaw 6 decision because the KHSAA guidance that was put out states:

Case BL8-15- The student and family live in Fayette County, enrolled at Lafayette, and transferred enrollment to Lexington Catholic HS.

KRS 156.070(2)(h) provisions on ineligibility for one year do NOT apply as the student is not a nonresident student at a common school. However, the student is subject to KHSAA Bylaw 6.

Voice of Reason also summarized the guidance in the old thread.

After a quick review, here are thoughts:

1. The new bylaw covers transfers in all grades, not just high school.

2. Under the new bylaw, if a student changes enrollment from one public school district to another, they either move to the new district or they sit one year - no exceptions.

3. There are some situations where the new bylaw does not apply. In those situation the KHSAA will continue to apply Bylaw 6.

4. A student living in a county with multiple schools districts will not be forced to sit one year by the new bylaw if they transfer to another school in the same district. Bylaw 6 will be applied. 

5. The new bylaw does not apply to public to private transfers. Bylaw 6 will be applied. 

Summary - The new bylaw tightens things up considerably on transfers from one public school district to another. If you do not actually move and live in the new district, you sit one year no matter what grade you are in with no exceptions. For transfers that are not from one public school district to another public school district, Bylaw 6 will be applied by the KHSAA.

Here is the old thread:

 

A lot of these issues could be resolved by applying the same guidelines to all member schools: public or private. The priority should be an education. So, a parent genuinely moving their child to a private school to receive a "better education," should be perfectly fine with that child sitting out of athletics for a year.

I have been told Cash attends church on Wednesday nights, he talks with his then priest at St. Pius Father Hannigan weekly/ sometimes daily, and even more I don't feel comfortable sharing.

Everyone, please let's concentrate on the issue and not any children please. 

Coming from someone who is in a school building everyday, I think kids should be able to transfer and play when/where they want. Limit it during a season, but during an off-season/summer have at it. Who am I to judge a parent for doing what's best for their kid, athletically or academically?

This is where I'm at. I'm not sure I'd like to see unlimited transferring, as it would impact academics, but as a parent, I didn't want anyone telling me what I could or could not do regarding my child's education.  I really don't think athletics should be treated any different than any other activity.

Yep, and from a school employees standpoint, if people are consistently leaving for a specific reason, improve it. 

Then I think about kids at a school like Newport, who always had baseball but now drops it. Why shouldn't that kid take a longer walk to Bellevue and play for the Tigers? It benefits the kid and the school. It's not like they enrolled at Newport knowing there wasn't a baseball team.

Not trying to be flippant, but that's definitely news to me, if that's the case.

Well maybe you can clarify that.   It is my understanding that private schools do not have to adhere to the resides statute that public schools follow.

I think that is covered with the KHSAA guidance I posted above because the KRS regulating sitting out doesn't address it.  Here it is again:

Case BL8-15- The student and family live in Fayette County, enrolled at Lafayette, and transferred enrollment to Lexington Catholic HS.

KRS 156.070(2)(h) provisions on ineligibility for one year do NOT apply as the student is not a nonresident student at a common school. However, the student is subject to KHSAA Bylaw 6.

Me quoting me I know...

You could also make a strong case that this actually discriminates unfairly against private schools because generally speaking with public schools you could move and be eligible but if you want to transfer to a private school (since you can't move there) you have to try your luck with Bylaw 6 and the KHSAA and that is hit or miss.

Is there a lawyer on board here? I’ve read everything that’s been posted and I’m more confused than when I started. Someone who can gives us a “yes” or “no” answer.

Most lawyers don't know you know what from apple butter unless it is their area of expertise.
