They still have to meet UIL requirements on residency, etc. And it could actually be easier. I school district will have an IP address to track. Quote

Expand Potentially, but do you want to be THE school district in your area that decided to shut a kid out of UIL sports because his parents chose the virtual option as opposed to in person?

RedJollyRoger Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 How could it be justified that you are concerned about Covid-19 only during school hours and not during practice, locker rooms,workouts or games? DXTR, ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING, Hagar and 1 other 4 Quote

Chuckwagon Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 Seems like it will make it really darn easy to transfer to a neighboring district who offers online learning and justify it because your current district doesn’t offer it equally. bad news! Quote
THE DUDE Posted July 10, 2020 Report Posted July 10, 2020 so does this mean "home school" kids can now play uil sports in the school district they live in? Quote

Expand This is quite the stretch. The kid would obviously have to be enrolled in the ISD to qualify. The better point is the one made about COVID concern in a classroom, but not on a football field. That should be enough to put an end to the argument. Quote

The better point is the one made about COVID concern in a classroom, but not on a football field. That should be enough to put an end to the argument. Expand The entire state has to be on the same page. Some schools have already stated students will be able to virtually learn at home and still participate in sports and other activities. Classrooms are not big enough to social distance a class of 25 or more students. Especially the schools with 1500+students. Just can’t be done. If a kids school says they have to be in class learning and the neighboring district says they don’t. Then the door does open for transfers. Which can be approved d/t COVID. So the majority will probably allow it. Until school actually starts they don’t even know how many students will be able to return. This pandemic has affected these students in more ways than one. I personally don’t think it will be a football season and if it is. It won’t be the same. They may only play district. Not much excitement there. IMO. Quote

WOSgrad Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Posted July 10, 2020 Well, the UIL has apparently put an end to the issue This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up BREAKING The UIL has issued guidance through the RMA portal that students enrolled in remote learning are ELIGIBLE for extra-curricular activities provided they meet all UIL eligibility requirements Quote

I will actually be surprised if we have a football season. With some college conferences shutting or minimizing their season, it's hard to believe that there will be a Texas high school football season. Dallas ISD sup has stated that he does not expect a high school football season this fall. Quote

Nothing really has changed. Districts can still create a policy that students have to attend in person classes in order to be in extra-curricular activities. I’ve already seen a few districts post their stance on both sides. Some will allow it and some won’t. Quote
