Well I commend Beaumont ISD for grandfathering the kids here to finish at whatever school they are currently at after the rezoning... Quote

BMTSoulja1 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Posted May 10, 2018 So he left a 6a if job for a 4a ASSISTANT job and states the move was to be. Closer to family? Not adding up to me. Alpha Wolf 1 Quote
2wedge Posted May 10, 2018 Report Posted May 10, 2018 "Sawyer said in the past year and a half, he has experienced some things from a personal standpoint. Those experiences have led him to rethink not only where he wants to be but also consider where he wants to raise his family." Translation: "Baytown is not where I want to raise my family, regardless of what job opportunities are here for me." This is a guy who previously lived in Hutto. If you've never been there, it's flush with cash and affluent families. Quite the opposite of Baytown and much more similar to Boerne. I understand his decision and would've made the same one. Quote

You are not required to live in GCCISD or attend GCCISD schools in order to work here (unless you are the Superintendent). Alpha Wolf 1 Quote

Maybe so, but it doesn't look good for the Athletic Coordinator/Head Football Coach at Sterling to live in Barbers Hill and his kids not go to GCCISD Schools. 2wedge 1 Quote
Alpha Wolf Posted May 10, 2018 Report Posted May 10, 2018 So the star RB just decided he didn't want to be a Ranger anymore, he has wanted to be a Gander all his life? Quote

We are dealing with the same issue here in Beaumont. Not true at all. The school district determines the Attendance Zones. Based on the districts permission to allow students to "grandfather", they have the option to attend the school to which they are now zoned OR remain at their current school dependent upon providing their own transportation. UIL Eligibility Standards The sole purpose of eligibility rules and contest regulations is to keep competition equitable and to maintain activities in proper perspective. It is the responsibility of each school to see that students do not compete unless they comply with all eligibility rules. It is also the responsibility of the student to observe and obey these standards. According to UIL standards, students are eligible to represent their school in interscholastic activities if they: have not graduated from high school, are full-time, day students in the school, and have been in regular attendance at the school since the 6th class day of the present school year, or have been in regular attendance for 15 or more calendar days before the contest or competition, are in compliance with state law and rules of the Commissioner of Education, (see This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up ) are enrolled in a four year, normal program of high school courses, and initially enrolled in the 9th grade not more than 4 years ago nor in the 10th grade not more than 3 years ago, were not recruited, are not in violation of the awards rule, and meet the specific eligibility requirements for academic, music and/or athletic competition. Eligibility for Academic Contests meet all the requirements above, and have not changed schools for the purpose of participating in a UIL academic contest. Eligibility for Music Contests meet all the requirements above, and have not changed schools for the purpose of participating in a UIL music contest. Eligibility for Athletic Contests meet all the requirements above, are less than 19 years old on September 1 preceding the contest or have been granted eligibility based on a disability that delayed their education by at least one year, live with their parents inside the school district attendance zone their first year of attendance (see your school administrator for exceptions), have not moved or changed schools for athletic purposes, have not violated the athletic amateur rule, and were eligible according to the fifteen day rule and the residence rule prior to district certification. Schools may adopt stricter standards for eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities. KF89 1 Quote
Alpha Wolf Posted May 10, 2018 Report Posted May 10, 2018 Well I'm not about to read your long attachment. I guess Goose Creek is doing things different. All our varsity athletes have been told per the AD and school board that if they transfer regardless of reason, they will not be eligible for varsity play for one calendar year. So for example, if a kid played a varsity sport at West Brook last year, even if he or she has been rezoned to United, they will not be able to compete at the varsity level at United. They have the option to stay at West Brook, continue to play there and graduate from there. The rezoning will be enforced for our incoming freshman. BMTSoulja1 1 Quote

Pick your poison cause you gonna get hit either way. But on the same note I would rather finish with the guys i have worked hard for 3 years with. Quote

This is correct. That's a quick way to get run out of town. It's seen as a lack of "buy in", and rightfully so. If I am the head football coach and I am asking kids to "be all in" on the Baytown Sterling football program, but my kids are "all in" at Barbers Hill, they pretty quickly realize I am full of caca.
