Schools can’t be open enrollment. School districts can be. So if a district is open enrollment, then all of their schools are. In the Bridgeland case though, the lines are always moving as new schools open, so I don’t know.
The UIL doesn’t have to get rid of open enrollment. Some districts do it so kids can go be part of academic or fine arts programs. That’s great and should keep going.
But if you don’t live in a house or apartment within that particular schools zone, you shouldn’t be able to participate in a UIL sport for that school. They should take a hard line on all transfers also.
One of the best DBs in Dallas, who attended a private school in Fort Worth this year, announced on Twitter today that he officially transferred to Duncanville. Duncanville’s QB was at a different private school last year. UIL should tell them they can stay private, or attend whatever public school they are zoned to.
And it’s not most schools/districts. Only 16/40 6A districts in DFW are open enrollment. And that’s counting some that aren’t true open enrollment. Like Southlake (who still gets move ins). They have open enrollment, but it’s only to capture a couple of small areas in Southlake city limits that are part of neighboring school districts. If you don’t live in Southlake, they won’t allow you to attend.

Well I guess that’s it. If you live in the district you can enroll at any school for the most part in Cy Fair. Weigman definitely doesn’t live in Fairfield or Bridgeland. Tkose are the only two hoods that go to Bridgeland. Perhaps a sliver of black horse that is west of Fry but I’m not sure. My wife’s teaching partner has a daughter that’s an absolute stud softball player. They put her at Bridgeland but the only caveat is either their freshman year or first year (not sure which one) they cant play varsity. She was a freshman last year and 100% would have started varsity but she had to play JV. So I guess they do something to try and curb it.
And it’s super easy to transfer in Cypress because the schools are all very close together. I think there’s 6 high schools within 5 miles of my house in Bridgeland.
Weigman had a whole party when he decided to Bridgeland. It looked like a senior high school college commitment party. Although it’s understandable. Bridgeland’s offensive philosophy fits his skill set much better than Cy Fair.

This is how things are manipulated in my neck of the woods. Each of the 6 high schools has a special program. One is an International Baccalaureate school, one has the Ag program, another has Health Science Academy, one partners with a community college to do various things (fire safety, mechanical work, etc).
There are some star athletes around here that will utilize those programs to enroll at the school of their choice. That’s if they don’t use a relative’s address.
