If she was bullied why didn't she choose to go to a school much closer to where she lives (ie John Champe, Freedom, etc.)? Instead chose the school that made it to the state finals in lacrosse last year.
My DD is friends with several girls on the Lightridge lacrosse team and they are pretty adamant that this is purely a desire to move to a better team team.
Bingo. Deny Deny. This is was a problem with all schools in the county and they need to put a stop to it. You go to your local school or you go to a private school (PVI) period (oh and you do have two other school that are closer to Freedom SR and J. Champe). Unless, it is something to do with a school not offering a subject or accommodation that another can provide. For just sports that is just crazy. Side note the dumb boards (past and current) also should have planned locations of High Schools better by having all these little HS less than 5-10 miles from each other is crazy. They should have planned for all the development and built larger schools and you wouldn't have this recruiting issue between schools to deal with the kid is either good or not and they get cut or make it like the old days.
Did the bullying really happen? My guess it started after it was known she wanted to transfer to the better team/school to be with club coach.
Was the requested granted or not? Tryout started last week.
