That's why I questioned your statement that the rules would effect private schools more than public.

 

Yeah, I'm sorry. Your first post said "any school" and not "any Diocesan school" and that's what threw me.:thumb:

BTW just for fun I did a quick tally so the KHSAA can see what fun they are in for.

 

On my street (about 30 houses) there are kids that went to three different private grade schools, two different public grade schools, four different high schools (two public, two private). Have fun.

This is such bunk. Clearly by the questions posted on here which pose numerous grey areas, the KHSAA has not thought this through OR it is possible that the KHSAA would like to dicate to school systems how to manage their enrollment.

 

Buried in all of this, by the way, was a portion of the Board meeting today where there was discussion about whether the KHSAA Commissioner, DeVries, would have the authority to grant "waivers" of the rule in her discretion. One board member made very clear that if 15 Pulaski County middle school students wanted to attend Somerset a waiver could be granted, but no such waiver if 15 St. Joseph Middle School (Bardstown) students wanted to attend Christian Academy, the waiver might be denied, in her discretion. Chairman Travis said that that situation would be closely monitored, but the measure actually passed, and she has that authority.

 

Word has it that she became irate and actually accused some Board members of "questioning her integrity."

 

This is a power play, nothing more.

I assume this proposal would also cover public to public scenarios, correct?

 

Kenton County currently has an open enrollment policy for its high schools. If a child goes to Woodland (Scott High feeder ) but chooses to go to Dixie Heights would they, too, fall under the one year ban?

 

 

You have Woodland for Scott , Turkeyfoot for Dixie , Twen. for SK . But you have Summit View as an extra , which feeds all 3 High schools . How do you break that down ?

On my street, I can count 4 high schools that are/have been represented: Scott, Dixie, Holy Cross, CCH/NDA.

Our neighborhood has SK , Scott , Dixie , CCH/ND , Holy Cross and Calvary all in it ! Wow this is going to be fun to watch !:jump:

Daviess Co. has a middle school with this same situation. College View Middle sends half its students to Daviess Co. while the other half go to Apollo. We have 2 public high schools and 3 public middle schools. When CVMS was first announced many thought that a 3rd HS would be forthcoming. There have also been rumors that Daviess Co. Public Schools and Owensboro City Schools might merge at some point.

 

 

BTW, Is Longbranch to be an new HS? If so where will it be located?

 

I believe it will be located off of Camp Ernst road in BC.

3. The source confirmed that the KHSAA "should" honor contractual agreements between inter-county districts, for instance the contract that allows Bloomfield Middle School (Nelson Co. school system) students to attend Bardstown High School (and pay a tuition stipend), and Bardstown Middle School students to attend Nelson Co. High School. Seemingly, then, the KHSAA rule will NOT affect "open enrollment" or kids going from PUBLIC TO PUBLIC (the rule is not implicated).

 

If you are saying kids that attend Bloomfield and Bardstown middle are going to have a choice of high schools then this Prop is complete garbage.

 

Furthermore if the Commissioner can grant waivers this Prop is double garbage and smells to high heaven. I am NOT questioning the Commissioner's integrity, I am saying if the powers that be want this rule it needs to be the same for everyone with no exceptions ever.

Back to Boone County, Neer is almost right, the school is on Longbranch Road (very close to Ryle I might add). I was thinking, due to the location of the new school, RA Jones middle school and Gray middle; to keep a balance the Gray kids may have to go to Longbranch HS and the RA Jones kids (from the very poor part of Boone County) may have to go to Ryle. :lol:

How could that (effecting all schools exactly the same) ever be possible?

 

In NKY alone you have:

 

*** Small city independent school districts like Dayton and Ludlow

 

*** Larger city independent school districts like Covington, Newport and Fort Thomas

 

***Dio.of Covington school district that emcompasses four counties

 

***Open enrollment county school districts like Kenton Co.

 

***Closed enrollment county school districts like Boone Co.

 

I can't believe no one in the KHSAA/BOC organization was assigned to do any research on the proposal. Heck if they just read Bluegrasspreps they could see all the legal problems that will follow. Are these people really that out of touch?

 

APNW, I think it is simple, wherever you go to school in the 7th grade determines where you can go to high school at and be eligible to play sports as a 9th grader. All I am saying is it should be strictly defined for everyone. Otherwise, there are going to be all kinds of exceptions/loopholes and they all are going to roll in the favor of the public schools.

I don't know much about this so hopefully can give me an example guru.

 

For example if you want to go to Lexington Catholic for High School and play football where do you have to be living at or attend middle school at?

I don't know because I don't know how LCA figures into it. Anyone?

IMO, although I agree this will likely be a nightmare, the privates have largely brought this upon themselves. When the delegate assembly vote dealing with these issues almost passed two years ago, the private school leaders could and should have taken steps to improve their image within the delegate assembly. They didn't, now they have this.

The privates I think are relying upon spending a lot of money on and being successful in a lawsuit, relying upon the Brentwood Academy case. I have read that case, and I think their reliance is somehwat misplaced. They belong to a voluntary association, which has made its rules.

Bloomfield and Bardstown middles will NOT implicate Rule 2, but may still implicate Bylaw 6. That is what I was told.

 

The Commish WILL have waiver discretion, and that was clear from the meeting today.
