re: LHSAA votes - how will it go?

that isn’t the issue. The issue is that the first year in some schools is 8th grade or before, when no one makes varsity anyway. Make kids sit out 9th grade if they’re out of zone
I totally agree with you.

see the downvotes l. I would like to know why a kid should be able to play out of zone the first year at a school.
A kid has been going to a private school since kindergarten. Let’s say living in Port Allen but always went to St John. Now that kid can’t play as a freshman.
That not fair in any sense to the kid

This thinking is the reason for the split. You have to think of all the kids not just this one kid that doesn’t want to go to school in his zone.

Because the attendance zones for private schools are complete LHSAA fabrications. They have no correlation with the population that actually attend that school.
This rule will also apply magnets, charters, etc. If your kid gets into a magnet based on academic performance, he/she will most likely be punished by not being eligible for a year.
It is going kill JV teams (especially in girls sports) at a lot of places.

Hysterically hypocritical.
“Think of all the kids” doesn’t equal taking eligibility away from kids who will never go to public school.

The thinking for the split is because principals wanted an easy way to win a state title.
Why punish a kid who was never going to go to Port Allen
Why punish St. Mary's and label them as select when nearly every kid they have lives in their "school zone" while you let public schools as non-select that have students from multiple school zones (Alexandria, Shreveport and NOLA public schools)

Correct but those schools in Caddo, Alexandria, and Orleans will also have thousands of 9th graders ineligible if this holds because the LHSAA again places these fabricated attendance zones on them when that simply isn’t reality.
The public schools that push this stuff are becoming extinct. Traditional school zones are fading all over the country and more and more jurisdictions are moving to open enrollment systems like what we have in New Orleans. Louisiana principals have to start evolving their thinking.

I totally agree. Sadly most public school principals lack the intelligence or foresight to understand what they vote in.
Make no mistake, this is done to try and hurt private schools when they don’t realize the would hurt their own.
Whole association is almost beyond broken at this point.

That was already the rule. Prior to this new change, first year students (7, 8, or 9th) were eligible for Freshman or JV even if they were ineligible for Varsity. The Northern public schools are the ones that pushed this Executive Committee change to strip this eligibility.
We will know by 11:00 am today whether it’s going to be the rule or if the Principals vote it down..

antonio, the N Vermillion proposal has the most support and could pass. Class B and C hold the cards from what I gather.

I'd like to see them go away completely. Why do we need an attendance zone for the LHSAA?

They probably exist for the sole purpose of being extra votes at the LHSAA

There are multiple proposals to remove the split, and each would take a 2/3rds vote to pass. As we go, if 1 passes, the rest are moot. We'll explain as we go, but if the first 1 fails, it doesn't mean chance to get back together is done. @AdvocateSports @nolaprep @VSNLouisiana

The state of LA does real well with domicile rules... maybe LHSAA can learn from them
