awesome, thats what i thought

thats actually a good compromise and what i wanted to begin with as that is where i see major concerns for the most part.

but i do support the transfer rule because i am for school choice and i want anything hindering that removed.

but thats great news for me personally

No more attendance zone restrictions for students entering LHSAA schools in the 9th grade.


There's still going to be parishes that don't have open enrollment though. Sucks to be them.

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.

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.

I'm talking about parishes like ST and Jeff, where it's not open enrollment. 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.

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

It only matters what district you live in. If you live in the district and went to Rummel in 8th grade, you could play varsity.

Right but let’s be honest, that’s a small percentage of their kids

Principals didn’t want to adapt to the times and the landscape


I disagree with you here from what you posted on LSL. Principals looked at college and said, no way, that bad for all parties invovled, even the kids who think they are benefitting from the portal, but that's an aside tangent with how many kids never make it out of the portal. If we went to straight clubs and got rid of schools, I'd be for all of it. But we need to have accountability for the student part of the student athlete.

that is not true

the rule at least the last 2 years since the brought back feeder schools after the 1 year they did away with them was this

a full year enrolled at a feeder school for 8th grade

didnt matter if you lived out of zone


for example...lets say you lived in south lake charles but you wanted to go to school at Sam Houston. You live in Barbes school district, but your parents file an out of zone request and it is approved for you to go to moss bluff middle school in 8th grade. well you spend whole year there, now you are eligible right away at Sam Houston. doesn't matter you live in a different zone.

you are right, he is wrong.

if you get an out of zone approved and attend a feeder school you are eligible immediately

You absoluley have a travel ball kid coming up about to go to HS. You want him at Barbe but when he doesn't see the field you want to be able to move it to somewhere where he does.

What part of my statement of if you lived in the district in 8th grade you were eligible was wrong? You're just a jackass.

yea i actually agree with ghost on this one. I think they are scared to hurt the small schools. Barbe's principle was interviewed by geaux preps and said that he voted no even though his school would prolly benefit because he felt like it would really hurt the smaller schools.

the part where you have to live in the district...you dont. you have to go to school at the feeder school

they have these things called out of zone request. in some parishes they are approved pretty easily. especially if going from a low rated school to a better rated school and you are a high academic kid or big sports kid

my kids dont go to barbe dude. already told everyone this. my kids go to private school.

thats not the point. sorry you see everything through a certain lens.

get this through your head....I want school choice, 100% uninterrupted school choice. no consequence to moving to a better school. I want parents and kids to decide whats best for them, not some guy in BR who has never even spoken to anyone in the family.
