||
|
|
|
3. |
Send/Fax
the form to the Senior Administrator for Athletics. |
||
|
|
E. |
A student requesting an appeal shall be required to
demonstrate clear and convincing evidence, in writing, that athletics has
played no part in requesting a transfer. |
|||
|
|
F. |
The Senior Administrator for Athletics as the
Superintendent’s designee will endeavor to render a decision within five
working days of receipt of the completed form and documentation. The decision will be based on the totality
of the circumstances. The Senior
Administrator for Athletics may revoke a decision to permit a student to
participate in athletics if at any time it is determined that the student has
transferred for athletic purposes. |
|||
|
|
G. |
The decision will be forwarded, in writing, to the
parent(s) or legal custodian(s). The student shall be ineligible to
participate in the athletic program pending approval of the appeal. If a transfer student participates in a
contest prior to the approval of an appeal, the student will be immediately
dropped from the team. Eligibility
will be restored after approval of an appeal and suspension from the number
of contests equal to the number of contests the student participated in while
ineligible. If the student is an
underclassman, the suspension may carry over into the next sport in which the
student participates in that year. |
|||
|
|
H. |
Schools are responsible for knowing transfers
participating in their athletic programs by using the student locator
information. If a transfer student
participates in a contest prior to the approval of an appeal, the student
will be considered ineligible, and NCHSAA rules for using an ineligible
student will apply for the affected student and school. |
|||
|
|
I. |
The
decision of the Senior Administrator for Athletics shall be final except
where a parent/guardian demonstrates a right to appeal to the Board of
Education under G.S. 115C-45©. |
