[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your argument is based on “but not for athletic/activity reasons.”  she didn’t transfer for those reasons. The waiver wasn’t granted for those reasons. [/quote]

No one said it was granted for athletics. LCPS cannot grant waivers for this reason, only VHSL can. It sounds like LCPS can grant a waiver for student welfare, but this does not automatically mean it applies to playing sports. LCPS specifically carves sports out of their decision and leaves sports eligibility up to VHSL once they have allowed the student to change schools. VHSL is responsible for fairness of sports across VA, not just Loudoun County. VHSL determined this waiver did not meet the standards to grant the waiver. And I’m sure it didn’t help the cause that Indy’s coach and parents probably discussed all of this prior to applying for a waiver, which goes against VHSL’s waiver policy. This case should be closed. The student’s parents, and Indy, bear the blame here, not VHSL.[/quote]

Got it. You think the VHSL supercedes the school board's authority. The parents tried to argue the reverse and lost. It's ridiculous and weird the athletic portion of VA education is the ultimate authority. [/quote]

No one believes the VHSL supersedes the LCPS. One represents the county and another all of Virginia athletics. Even LCPS notes in its own policy VHSL is responsible for athletic decisions. And the VHSL review process cannot even begin until a determination has been made on an athlete changing schools.

I have no idea what information was used as the basis for VHSL’s decision, but if there was a perception or evidence the Indy coach and parents and/or student discussed this topic prior to the waiver then case closed based on this one aspect of the VHSL waiver policy. Those are the rules and the Indy coach should have known them and instructed the family appropriately.[/quote]

You're such an ass you can't even take the end of the argument. "one represents the county and another all of Virginia athletics..." where the policy of VHSL is the final determining decision. That's the very definition of superceding when one authority makes policy which doesn't allow something while another does. I suppose you think the United States Supreme Court just has different review processes the state courts.
