[yellowjacket2]

Take a look at what is going on else where, with this federal act. What will the tssaa do when faced with this. www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/

 

Athletes trapped when rules overlap

[Knoxsoddyboy]

This has nothing to do woth No Child Left Behind. This is a Kentucky Policy.

This has everything to do with no child left behind, look at the act it is a federal act that allows students to transfere if their school does not meet standards, and all states are under national federation of rules so they are the same rules. Tssaa and khsaa are national federation. It will happen.

He right, The No Child Left Behind Act is a federal act that Tn. schools are under. Tssaa as many other state athletic associations are in the National Federation of High School rules. This will become a problem for the State Boards of Education and will probally be settled in court. It is siomething that parents had better research before moving their child under this act.

When I ask my boy his answer was yes. So my answer is yes, athletics is very important in his life. Surprised?

[PLACALL]

It is already happening in Knoxville.

Hello fuzzy, been there and done that laduke, I know exactly what you are talking about, and yes it is important. You only go through once make the best of it.

[laduke]

What are you talking about? You must be confused. I take my son to school each morning. You may have me confused with someone else.

 

Point, this will be interesting to see what will be done.

The no child left behind act refers to academic issues ONLY. The TSSAA is an independent controllling body over ATHLETICS in Tennessee. The ability of a student to transfer to meet his academic needs does not circumvent the governing rules for ATHLETICS. NO ONE has any god-given RIGHT to play athletics in high school. If they feel that their academic needs are not being met they can petition to change schools, but it is not in writing ANYWWHERE that he/she has to be allowed to participate in athletics. Sorry guys, no school is REQUIRED to participate in organized athletics. If you have followed the BA vs. TSSAA case it has been ruled that theTSSAA is an independent governing body. Also the act states that the school must be proven not to be meeting the child's needs in a number of areas. If the child is passing, they are considered to be met. If they are not passing, they are ineligible anyway. Nice try to twist the rules around to suit you, but it will not fly in court as it is written right now.

BUZZER!!!! Wrong....the TSSAA has been ruled to be an "arm of the government" by the Federal Court of Appeals. This is just another lawsuit awaiting the TSSAA. And EVERYONE who meets the requirements in the public school system DOES have the legal rights to not be discriminated against and be given the RIGHT to play athletics in high school. Its the law.

Green Wave, go over what I said again. No school is REQUIRED to participate in athletics in the state of Tennessee. As a matter of fact, there is one right here in Nashville that does not; The Nashville School of the Arts. They have no sports teams whatsoever. Also, the judgement by the Federal Court of Appeals (which overturned a decision by the State Supreme Court) is currently under appeal. It cannot be used as precedence just yet. As bad as I hate to say it, without the TSSAA high school sports in the state of Tennessee as we know it, would not exist. Why do you think the private schools have not just pulled out and started their own association? They do not want the headache. I know you are mad at the TSSAA about the Shipley kid, but the honest truth is he was living down the street from my mom in Hermitage until he got turned in. I saw him all the time. He is a good kid that got caught in the middle. He didn't want to be at McGavock and they tried to circumvent the rules. It had nothing to do with Gallatin. They didn't know. Sorry.
