I hope the Underwood boys will be on course for a smooth educational transition and I've heard the GR kids are a good group and will put aside this debate. That being what parents may hold against a kid from coming from another town and any negative attitudes.

Transferring

Post by northwoods oldtimer »

Getting back on subject here. If a kid moves to an address that is in the school district with their parents doesn't that correspond into being eligable for Varstity level play? I do not know the exact details but I thought that this was how the new rule applied. Thanks.

If you change residence from one school district to another there is no penalty.

Is there a deadline date such as before school starts, or is it just moving to a certain address?
