HS eligibility in Senior year

[default]

Someone asked me this tonight and I have not been able to find the answer so I am posing the question to the experts of OFC....

Can a current junior in high school move to the high school her parent is working for and be eiligible to play sports at the new school? or would she still be in-eligible to play sports at the new school?

I will sy no, she would be ineligible.

But.....there are pages of tranfer requirements in the OHSAA By-laws. Have her get with their AD. That is their job.

Not eligible. The family would have to move into the district and show proof of permanent residence for her to be eligible right away.

Thanks guys! Ineligible is what I told him I thought it would be. Didn't think Mom working at the other school would matter.

Mom working at the other school may also, in fact, be a part of why the ineligibility rule is in place to begin with. Otherwise, recruit-savvy schools could have mom hired as a cafeteria aid or lunch lady (no offense to aids or lunch ladies, my mom was one) in order to bring the recruit in. Hypothetically speaking.
