Two-Year Ban On Transfers Bites Athletes
The school board debated a two year ban on athletic participation for transfer students, a policy stricter than the Texas Interscholastic League rule. Ronald Paul Boyder Jr. seeks to transfer from Robert JF Lee High to Russ Sterling and would face two years out of sports. Attorney J Milton Stewart argued the policy may clash with a federal court decree affirming student choice in athletics. Trustees asked for a full study of the impact and how the rule aligns with federal guidelines and state rules.
