Jose and Lisa live in the public school zone for Mandeville High. Jose decides to go play baseball at some school in NOLA with no penalty. Lisa does NOT play sports but is very low academically, so can Mandeville deny Lisa entrance to their school because she would hurt their SPS score and it NOT effect their funding?
Only seems fair, right?
That's up to the St. Tammany School District. It has nothing to do with the LHSAA.
There seems to be a huge disconnect with some posters on what the LHSAA is and what they govern.

The LHSAA is so dumb. We were getting conflicting information from 3 different high school AD's about eligibility. I sent an email to LHSAA asking for clarification. I didn't mention the schools but did spell out what we were told & the confusion. The response I got - clearly written by an actual person - was to ask the schools for guidance. I went back and forth with them but bottom line: they refused to tell me what their own damn rules were. Completely useless.
The LHSAA only deals with school administration, not with parents.
It's a long-standing policy... and a good one.

what I want to know is does that apply if a kid is otherwise not supposed to be there?
Yes, the LHSAA doesn't enforce district attendance rules; that is the school district's purview..

And what happens if a zoned public school refuses to enforce its zone?
That is a district issue, not an LHSAA issue.

My next idea would be a rule where no select school may turn in a nonselect school over kids that don’t live in the zone…
Again, not an LHSAA issue.
And this already happens all the time.

so should be able to declare a school out of attendance zone if out of zone is approved, am i reading that right Antonio?
“Out of zone approved” isn’t an LHSAA thing; it’s a school district thing so I would not frame it like that.
Any incoming 9th grader can enroll in any LHSAA school and will have full eligibility. So they can go to private, charter, in-zone, out-of-zone, doesn’t matter. They will have full eligibility from day one.
This is how it is in most states. Rules regarding residency restrictions only apply for subsequent transfers.

One of the biggest issues the LHSAA is dealing with right now is behavior at basketball games. Allowing CECP head coaches who are marginally attached to the school would exacerbate that problem.

they also voted down the proposed rule to allow basketball coaches to not have to be school employees, which I also think is shortsighted and hurts the kids overall in the coaching department.
Disagree

It isn't about what is best of each individual kid. That is what summer ball is for. There has to be integrity in the sport. Kids not transferring keeps that integrity. Fair competition between schools. That is what high school sports represents. Not buying players and going where you can play because you weren't good enough at the school you grew up at.
As someone in the world, this is a pretty naive stance.

It's Proposal II-1
Like I mentioned earlier, it was amended by one of the Executive Committee members to clarify that this rule would have the same effect on first time 7/8th graders entering an LHSAA school.

3a school has a good group of 6 baseball players in 1 class. They start as sophomores and go 5-22. As Jrs. They go 14-14. Going into their senior year 3 get poached to go to 5a schools. Team then goes 10-20. How is that fair to the other kids or coaches.
Again, this situation is exceedingly rare. The vast majority of transfers in the LHSAA are the result of cuts, lack of playing time, etc.
I'm opposed to the one-time transfer because the legislature has no business in high school sports. That said, the actual consequences of a one-time transfer would be far less dramatic than what people on this forum argue. You would probably end up with a little more parity, especially in areas with the a lot of schools to choose from.

I'm talking about parishes like ST and Jeff, where it's not open enrollment.
St. Tammany, Ascension, Livingston, etc.
Those districts are actively choosing to stay with attendance zones. Why should their isolated choice cost a student in a different district who operates under different rules a year of eligibility?
quote:
Unless you can show me otherwise, these kids are not going to be eligible for schools they are out of zone for because those schools aren't going to even allow them in.
Again, that is the result of the decision of the school district. It should not be the blanket rule of the LHSAA that governs different systems with different rules - especially now, where the attendance zone districts represent a minority of the association's membership.

I always thought if you were at a school in your 8th grade year (under the HS principal) that was the year you sat out so you’d be eligible to play in 9th
Correct, but there haven't been a rash of schools starting 8th grades.

Weren’t schools getting around this by starting 8th grades and so forth?

There's still going to be parishes that don't have open enrollment though. Sucks to be them.
Every public district, charter system, and private system has a variety of rules and regulations regarding attendance and enrollment. The minority attendance zone system should not cost kids a year of eligibility because its been around a long time.
This was the right move.

Legislation has already been introduced.
Yes, but it is being presented to fund the necessary study for a potential Cooperative Agreement between BESE and the LHSAA (Tier 2 Option). I think that was coming regardless.

explain please?
No more attendance zone restrictions for students entering LHSAA schools in the 9th grade. (I believe it was amended to include 7/8 grade too, but not 100% sure)
So an incoming freshman will be fully eligible upon entering an LHSAA school regardless of where they live.
This is how most states operate; it was long overdue for the LHSAA.

Full Freshmen Eligibility passed 169-168.
That is a big win for the LHSAA and needs to be a bargaining chip against the legislature.

This issue is not really about sports. It is about fairness, transparency, and making sure the system works for students and families.
That may be the argument, and there are certainly issues within the LHSAA regarding transparency, but the state government running athletics would be an unmitigated disaster for everyone.
