Transfer question.

[Lead]

If a player in an open zone county transfers to another school in the same county, would they be eligible at the new school with the proper address change?

If their new address is zoned for that new school then yes the player would be eligible.

A Marshall County fan started this topic and a comment about Alcoa & Maryville was made soon afterward.  It was just this past summer that an Alcoa standout transferred to Marshall County if memory serves me correctly.

Then 75% of the schools in Div 1 would have to move up.

Open enrollment allows schools to pull players from other schools.  If the best players go to the same school it's not hard to win.  We have a population of about 17,000 and we have 600 in school.   If pull best players from a urban area of a large population and you still have 600 kids you have a big time advantage.   Open enrollment should have a multiplier effect .

 I am not disputing anything you are saying. All I am saying is that most of the public schools in Tennessee are open in Roman schools by TSSAA definition.

ALL public schools are open enrollment UNLESS their own Board of Education voted to limit it.

Absolutely true. I have noticed on here over the years some posters complain about open zone school and they didn’t even realize their own district was open zone as well. Amazing how few have a good understanding of their own school board policies.

People need to understand the dynamics of something before denouncing it. Open zone vs. closed zone is a "hot topic" in sports, but has little to do with it in concept. Open zone policy is for taxpayer equality...here in Henderson Co. we have multiple schools at every level, and although we are proud of all of them we still offer the choice of where your child will attend. We run bus routs which are computer generated, determining (according to address) which school your child attends unless you provide transportation, in which case you have choice of any of them. If building capacity isn't maxed out, we then offer to accept out of county students provided they pay a tuition amount equal to that which the county covers for in county students on a first come/first serve basis. Pretty simple...it's the best policy to offer "fairness" and choice to the taxpayers.
