PLEASE HELP KAYA SO SHE CAN PLAY IMMEDIATELY

Kaya and her family moved to Fort Mill South Carolina right before Christmas 2020. In preparation for the move, she looked at the high schools in the area and found Legion Collegiate Academy. It fits her needs for academics and athletics that will set her up for success in college. This not to say that the other area high schools would not, but Legion checked all the boxes for her.

Moving here from California she did not know that the principal at Fort Mill High School, the high school she is zoned for, has to sign a release to play softball at a NON-Varsity level immediately. She was surprised that is a requirement. 

This type of transfer was allowed previously.

We reached out to Principal Scroggs and he refuses to sign the release. 

He sighted potential future recruiting issues. Although we understand that makes sense for kids that have attended his school, Kaya was never enrolled there and never attended.

Please sign this petition to encourage Principal Scroggs to do the right thing and let Kaya play at the High School that she choose. 

Educators and Administrators should be adding to the development of teenagers and not taking away from it. Regardless if they attend their school or not.
