[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if you transfer for Japanese at Langley HS for 9th grade, you are ineligible by default and have to make an appeal to join Debate or Football, etc. I suppose winning appeals is not guaranteed.

If you apply and are accepted to TJ, since that is a governors school, you do not have to make an appeal to play VHSL sports. You just play for TJ automatically  [/quote]

In reading the VHSL rules, I think this provision governs regarding an academic transfer

28A-7-2 Transfer Rules Exceptions:
 5 Note (A): A student entering 9th grade for the first time after being approved to enter an academy or specialty program becomes immediately eligible in the high school provide the academy or specialty program.

So, a transfer based on academics IB to AP, admittance to TJ, should fall under this exception as long as it's done before entering 9th grade. [/quote]

How is IB or AP a “specialty program” if half the FCPS schools have either one or the other. I would not make assumptions. Contact the schools’ athletic director to make sure pupil placing for AP or a language in 9th grade won’t make an athlete ineligible. [/quote]

Question - if IB/AP are not considered speciality programs, how will this work?  Under the new rules, an incoming 9th grader is allowed to play where their parents reside.   So, can my child go to Marshal for IB but play sports for Madison because that is where I live? [/quote]
