Open Selective Enrollment.
Amendment to the MSHSAA rules:
1) Transferring for Athletic Reasons:
A student WILL BE eligible to compete at a new school if the transfer is for athletic reasons
(dislikes the coach at former school, hopes for more playing time at new school, chance to be on a better team, hoping for more “exposure”, etc).
2) Enrollment will be open to any available school within the state of Missouri.
3) Applications for outside district enrollment must be approved by the Principal of the receiving school. (NOTE: Of course, after review and approval by the coaching staff...)
To participate in this process, School Boards must declare their schools as Selective Enrollment Schools. (SES)
Private Schools (and public schools that opt for SES status) will all be considered (SES) schools for the purpose of interscholastic Competition.
Example: Football will have 5 classes: 1 to 5 for non-SES competition. 3 Classes for SES competition.
If your public school is good enough, has the right coaching staffs, are competitive enough, have the right facilities, then SES status is it.
Practical application:
Schools like Staley, Fort, Blue Springs, LSW, LSN, Liberty, Liberty North, would be likely to go SES.
Schools like NKC, Raytown South, Truman, William Chrisman. Not likely to go SES.
