Some interesting reading for those who bought the district line that the IHSA was the bad guy and if kids didn't move to MVHS from WVHS when it opened - or those who got exceptons to stay @ NVHS couldn't play - no exceptions ( which of course we already know from the sports played was not true ) - when I said all along it was not the IHSA- the SD had the call.
Maybe the next monkey survey should ask if the communications are true - not if some people are happy with them.
BOTTOM LINE:
... the class of 2012 could have gone to whatever school they wanted and now the rules will allow them to stay there...all under approval from IHSA --

IHSA Schools Approve All Eight Proposals On Amendment Ballot
All eight proposals on the ballot in the annual Illinois High School Association (IHSA) member school referendum were approved in voting by the membership last month. The online ballots were tabulated and certified in the IHSA Office Tuesday (Jan. 12). All the by-law changes take effect on July 1, 2010.
Here is a summary of the successful proposals and the vote totals:
Proposal 1 (passed 271-158) provides that a non-boundaried public school’s actual enrollment, rather than the school’s multiplied enrollment, be used to determine eligibility for a coop. The multiplier will still be used to determined the classification of the coop.
Proposal 2 (passed 423-5) allows the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired to participate with other schools for the blind, even if those schools are not members of their state high school association, provided those schools are governed by the North Central Association of Schools for the Blind.
Proposal 3 (passed 405-23) allows multiple-school activities sponsored by organizations such as the Illinois Coordinating Council for Career and Technical Student Organizations or the Illinois Association of Student Councils to begin as early as 8:00 am on a school day.
Proposal 5 (passed 320-107) provides that, for a student in a multiple high school district to be eligible with regard to residence at a boundaried public school, the student must live in the attendance area of the school he or she attends.
Proposal 7 (passed 291-139) provides that when the Illinois State Board of Education has granted a tuition waiver to a student attending the school where his or her parent teaches, the student shall be eligible with regard to residence.
Proposal 8 (passed 255-175) provides for a process by which a non-boundaried school may apply to have the 1.65 enrollment multiplier waived. The process will be established by the IHSA Board of Directors with input from a subcommittee composed of members of IHSA staff and the IHSA Legislative Commission.
Proposal 9 (passed 339-87) removes the prohibition on participation in boys and girls basketball tournaments held during the week of IHSA Boys or Girls Basketball Regional Tournaments.
Proposal 14 (passed 383-42) establishes a season limitation for Competitive Dance that is identical to the season limitation already in place for Competitive Cheer.

2009-10 -- Proposal No. 5
Amend By-law 3.031.1 – Residence
Submitted by Jim Cozzolino, Official Representative, Springfield (Lanphier)
By-law 3.031.1 currently reads:
3.031.1 They reside full time with their parents, custodial parent or guardian appointed by a judge of a
court having proper jurisdiction, or they currently and for at least the last two years prior to the
student’s enrolling in high school, have lived with another family member or relative who has
provided full support and adult supervision for the student, as though they were the guardian,
within the boundaries of the public school district in which the high school they attend is located;
or
Revise By-law 3.031.1 to read:
3.031.1 They reside full time with their parents, custodial parent or guardian appointed by a judge of a
court having proper jurisdiction, or they currently and for at least the last two years prior to the
student’s enrolling in high school, have lived with another family member or relative who has
provided full support and adult supervision for the student, as though they were the guardian,
within the boundaries of the public school district in which the attendance area of the high
school they attend is located; or
Rationale
At the moment, eighth grade graduates entering a multiple high school district can attend any high school
they want.
a. This amendment will keep students from multiple high school districts from attending high schools
in their public school district but outside their high school’s attendance boundaries. This
amendment would not allow a student to attend a different high school in the same public school
district without the risk of a possible penalty.
b. Will restrict coaches in multiple public high school districts from recruiting student athletes
because they will have to attend the public school in the attendance area where their address is.
c. Levels the playing field for single high school districts whose students do not have a choice as
where to attend high school.
d. This amendment takes the transfer issue out of the hands of multiple school district officials and
into the hands of the IHSA.
Pros
Addresses the issue of students not residing in the attendance area of the school where they attend.
Allows the Executive Director to make rulings based on circumstances necessitating the transfer.
Cons
None.
