Change.org asked me to update on the latest developments. In a nutshell; a board meeting had happened and I was unaware that it was being discussed. The board decided at that time to KEEP the rule because they (in a nutshell explanation coming) would not know whether or not they needed to sideline/bench a homeschooled student due to failing grades. As well as, the possibility of a public schooled childs family pulling a failing student from their system, homeschooling them during the duration of a sport, then putting the child back in after the sport is over. Hence, allowing a grade failing public school child to participate in the sport. It seems to me, that the school board is looking more at the "how to discipline" rather than the good. So, with this petition ongoing, my family will look into a COMPROMISE or an option for the school to implement if willing. As well as the news media has contacted me, however, I will hold off on a news interview for now as it could negatively impact our upcoming board meeting where we will present compromises/options.
