Doctor seeks change in O H S A A rule on school attendance
Dr. Clifford Sampson of Middletown asks the Madison Board of Education to pursue a reform of the Ohio High School Athletic Association rule requiring athletes to be in school during the preceding semester. He cites his son Bruce, who reentered Madison High after time in a Michigan psychiatric center following his grandmother’s murder, and argues the rule deprives students of sports participation rights when they miss school for any reason.
