coastfootballfanman Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 House Bill 1435 is the one that needs to be worrying folks. If you think recruiting at High School level is bad now, it is going to be uncontrollable after this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't as many failing districts as you would think anyway. If anything it will keep the Jackson academy's from being their only options.

As long as he meets elgibility requirements. Say for instance. A kid that lives in Mize but is homeschooled can go play football at Mize .

coastfootballfanman Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) I have seen conflicting reports on it. One article said it was for students from a D or F district. The others I saw made it appear that you could come and go as long as the district you are going to will accept you. This was what I got from a site. SECTION 1. Section 37-15-31, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows: 37-15-31. (1) (a) Except as provided in subsections (2) through * * * (7) of this section, upon the petition in writing of a parent or guardian resident of the school district of an individual student filed or lodged with the president or secretary of the school board of a school district * * * to which the pupil * * * is seeking transfer, individual students living in one school district * * * may be legally transferred to another school district, * * * provided that the school board of the school district to which the transfer is sought consents * * * to receive the students seeking transfer, which such consent must be given in writing and spread upon the minutes of * * * the school board of the transferee school district. (b) Upon receipt of such notice of petition for transfer, the school board of the transferee school district shall act on such request for transfer as soon as possible, and no later than the next regular meeting of the transferee board, and a failure of such transferee board to act within such time shall constitute an approval of such request and approved enrollment by the school board of the transferee school district. If such a transfer is approved by the school board of the transferee school district, then such decision shall be final. ( * * *c) * * * The transferee school district shall notify, in writing, the school district from which the pupil or pupils are transferring of the receipt of such transfer request within a reasonable period of time, and the school board of the transferor school district shall spread the same upon its minutes. * * * ( * * *d) Any legal guardianship formed for the purpose of establishing residency for school district attendance purposes shall not be recognized by the affected school board. (e) The legal transfer of a student under this subsection shall include a provision for the transportation of the student by either the parent or legal guardian of the student or the transferee school district, provided that the transferee school district does not violate the provision of Section 37-15-29(3), prohibiting the transportation of students in excess of thirty (30) miles from his or her home. (g) Athletic eligibility for a school-age child who transfers to another school or school district pursuant to this subsection shall be determined based on the child's fall semester enrollment. A child shall be athletically eligible for one (1) school per school year. A child may transfer to another school mid-year, however, that child shall not be athletically eligible until the following fall school year. A child shall not be deemed athletically ineligible, thus ruled ineligible for any length of time, based upon a transfer of schools, so long as the provisions in this section are followed.

From what I have been told a school can deny those students if they are already overcrowded He or she has to meet the county standards for credits, etc. If that's the case then go ahead and attend regular classes especially in the rural smaller school districts. Parents must transport will be harder in these areas unless their stay home moms, chicken farmers, etc. It does not state a student can transport themselves.

I agree with this, but you also wonder what happens to the poor performing school when you allow the best students to leave? That struggling school will get even worse.

I agree if it gets down to forcing A-C schools districts with multiple districts like East/West Jasper, Scott/Forest City, Newton/Newton County/Union, Copiah/Hazlehurst and heaven forbid Clarke/Enterprise.
