by ISSUE 5B: Bylaw 4-6-2, Residence, Addition of 18-Year-Old Provision to Exception 1 (Addition to Exception)
This amendment permits the Executive Director’s Office to approve residency eligibility after considering extenuating circumstances that may compel a student who is 18 and no longer eligible for a legal change of custody/guardianship to transfer schools and move into a new residence with a primary relative while his/her parents are living outside of Ohio. This change mirrors the amendment to the 18¬year¬old provision found within the change of custody exception under the transfer bylaw. The student is still required to meet the requirements of a transfer bylaw exception in order to restore eligibility for the entire season. (Becomes effective August 1, 2022).
Passed 674 to 117 (22 abstained)
