Just an observation and question, if they didn't live in the district then why would SPS administration look the other way?
Why do districts do it all the time? I’m assuming because he’s a super good athlete. All pure speculation. Maybe SPS didn’t know, but I find that hard to believe. Or maybe what I heard isn’t true, but that would be harder to believe honestly.
The Mabins family lives in SPS district, within the Kickapoo boundary, although their residence is not too far from Glendale. Just a bit further away than Kickapoo school is. And they've been there since '16
Do you know this? Or just going off what the internet tells you? I really don't have firsthand knowledge, but I'd be super surprised if what I was told isn't true.
Just go on the Greene County assessors website to the GIS map and type in a name and see what property they own. I did my own research and am not regurgitating rumors or what I heard on the internet.
To be fair it wasn't a rumor or anything I heard on the internet. But like I said, I don't have first hand knowledge either. Assume it's quite possible they could own multiple properties too.
That's the only property listed under their name, and its a pretty high end property so likely not a rental
Oh—I agree. I’m all for kids transferring and playing immediately, regardless of the reason. A coach can change districts for a better opportunity without having to sit a year. Why are we holding kids to a standard we don’t hold adults? It’s ridiculous.
Think Catholic would want to put up with their circus? Hard for me to see Jay Osborne and Mike Mauk co-existing, but I could be way off.
A coach changing jobs is a lot different that a kid changing where he goes to school. Lets not forget this is HIGH SCHOOL. These guys are not free agents.
I did, nothing under their name.
Correct...except it was up until 2020 or 2021. It was Nixa address but not in Nixa school district. Older brother ran track at the Christian county school in JH.
The whole family moves, then play right away. Too much shady stuff going on these days in private and public schools in all sports. Glad I am out of that area in these times. One question. Isn't Springfield an open enrollment district?
C'mon Joe...set us straight. Put the bottle down long enough to be a solid contributor to the board.
Yeah that just sounds like unsubstantiated gossip to me.
Probably wouldn't if you knew where it came from. I'm not willing to disclose that, so I get the skepticism. Totally respect it.
Yeah I'm not even saying I'm right either, I'm just going by the evidence I've found. I just find it far fetched that they owned a house, sold it in 2016, and still lived in it when they bought another house that same year in Poo district. These are not cheap houses we are talking about either.
BS. A family should be able to do what they think is best for their kid. Just like a coach, or teacher, or administrator, moves for what’s best for his family. If he okayed trombone and wanted to go to a better school for band no one would care.
