ISSUE 1C: Constitution Article 5-7-3, Transfer of Schools from One Athletic District to Another, and Add Constitution Article 6-1-10 (Modification and New Article)
This modification of Constitution Article 5-7-3 and addition of Article 6-1-10 clarifies procedures and factors used for evaluating a request for a school to change OHSAA athletic districts. The amendment 1) restricts requests to those that can meet “objective, published criteria,” 2) restricts how frequently such changes may occur, 3) removes the final decision-making authority from the Board of Directors, which is composed of Reps from the impacted districts, and instead places the decision-making authority with the Executive Director, and 4) allows any denied transfer requests to be heard by the OHSAA Appeals Panel. (Becomes effective May 16, 2022).
Passed 669 to 114 (31 abstained)
