The change in residence rule is only marginally applicable to private schools, and any move outside of the current school district would enable the student to become immediately eligible at any private school. So a, ahem, hypothetical family could move from Minnetonka to, say, Maple Grove, and then enroll in St. Cloud Cathedral (or Breck or BSM, for that matter) in the fall.

The MSHSL’s rules are very specific about transfers and eligibility. The one that families seem to manipulate is the residence change rule. The rule applies to all schools in the state – private, public and even those not in the league (SSM). A kid’s whole family has to move to a residence outside of their current district in order to be eligible under that exception.

But let’s be real – paying rent and a mortgage and pretending to live somewhere for a few months is only for those who can afford it. This practice is especially getting bad in the Section 6 private schools. Interesting that those school are now potential state contenders. You’d think the MSHSL would want to at least try and appear credible and fair about how rules are followed in the state. But that might be expecting too much of an organization that’s probably as political as the next. In the end the rules are so tight that people resort to desperate measures. Why not just give a kid a one-time transfer option with no penalty?

Give some examples of the Section 6 private schools that are abusing this rule.

Now this is funny! For a school that has never won even a section championship they sure are full of themselves. Have fun playing Mound, Delano, Litchfield, Waconia, Hutchinson, and Orono.

Yes, the change in residence rule applies to private schools as well. However, I would not say that it applies equally, in that a family can move anywhere outside of their current school district and transfer to a private school without losing eligibility. The original post by outdoorsuperstar asked whether the Motzko family would have to return to St. Cloud for Mack to be eligible at Cathedral, and I pointed out that they could move anywhere outside of the Minnetonka district. Unlike public schools, there is no district boundary for Cathedral, so the family would not have to move to St. Cloud. I don’t see how anything I stated was inaccurate or misleading.

If I am reading this correctly for Mack to return to SCC his family would have to move out of the Tonka district? If so has that happened? Given his dad is the coach of the Gophers and therefore he'd want a metro address for commuting to Minneapolis, another small move just so your kid can play 1 year of h.s. hockey where he wants sounds like a bit much.

Sure, but their could also be many non-hockey factors in play as well. Changing schools as a junior is probably not the easiest experience, particularly going from a small private school to a huge public school (along with a big spotlight on you and your family). Maybe the kid is just homesick and wants to finish off his final year in an environment in which he feels more comfortable. If the parents have the resources to make that happen, why wouldn’t you want to see your kid be happier?
