Keep the schools split.

For which reason?

As long as a fair and honest appeals process is allowed.. For instance, is it truly an issue for an average athlete to transfer to a private or public if legitimate reasons exist. These transfers are more common than the elite athletes moving around.

What if a kid at a private school wants to go to the public school in their district? They wouldn't be made to sit out would they?
If you transfer in your school district you should have to sit out. No reason why you shouldn't.

What if your Dad worked in the oil field and lost his job? Now your parents can't afford private school tuition and you are forced to go to a public school. You should lose your right to play sports/receive a scholarship?

Good article LINK
And as far as transferring private to public and not having to sit, I'm game as long as you can transfer public to private and not sit. Maybe someone couldn't afford private but the parent got a raise and could afford it. Should the child be punished because they can afford to go to the school they truly wished to be at?

The issue is much bigger than sitting out a year or not. The LHSAA can't legislate which school kids can legally attend. If a parent wants to send their kid to a private school in another parish or district more power to them. If a parent wants to send their kid to a public school in another parish, can they legally do it? That's the difference.
The LHSAA definitely needs to be able to enforce their rules when it comes to extreme cases of a kid basically being shopped around as a free agent, and there are both public and private schools guilty of engaging in that level of recruiting. But the biggest difference goes back to fundamental attendance policies that apply to everyone, not just athletes. Those differences are difficult to account for under the same umbrella.

You also have to account that a kid who goes to a private school is also paying their way for tuition as well. The amount of kids that go to school for free at a private school is so small, but you'd think that no athletes at any private school paid according to some. You want a sit out period? How about we adopt the Cali way. 45 day ineligible period and you can't participate in the same sport in the same year at different schools. Transfer till your hearts content.

The sit out period only addresses the hard core recruiting / free agent type scenario that everyone agrees happens on both sides and should be dealt with.
Even taking athletics out of the equation, what kind of transfers can a public school accept compared to a private school within the same district?

Also, the half-split in football only sounds great if it means the league stays together. I think it gets the small publics in a league where they can whine about U-High and Haynesville till they are blue in the face, and it allows the big boys in 4A and 5A to continue to keep LA football great.

I don't know the details that's why I'm asking. If a student is going to transfer into a public school I assume the school would need proof they reside within the attendance zone. The private school would obviously require tuition, but what else?

plenty kids lie about where they live - even cross parish lines... and play at publics....
Posted on 6/7/16 at 1:11 pm to choupiquesushi
So a student or family would have to lie or do something illegal to attend a school outside of their zone or parish, whether they are an athlete or not.
Would they have to lie or do something illegal to attend a private school in another parish?

Not sure what you are getting at, but you COULD lie because you don't want to sit out when you go to a private, but you don't have to if you are honest and want to sit out. At a public, you certainly can lie about where you live, and there are several documented cases of this, but I can anecdotally tell you that this happens pretty often.

This is a pretty simple concept when you take athletics, the LHSAA, sit out periods, etc out of the equation.
If I live in Parish A and want to send my child to a private school in Parish B, what would I have to do?

Every public school board has different rules and I don't think it works with simple A and B issues. I don't know any public schools that allow people who live in other parishes to attend. That being said, kids do attend because they use different addresses. You have to sit out a year if you go to private school out of parish. You don't sit out with public schools because that "doesn't exist".

No.
Football needs to have it's own classes. Teams like Curtis and Evangel play up in football.
Basketball needs it's own classes. Reserve Christian or whatever they hell they are called needs to stop winning the class F state title every year and play up.

the parents lie about where the kids live... leading tackler or offensive mvp on a state champ team - school looks the other way....
