(rule 18-5)RULE 19 %u2013 ELIGIBILITY AND TRANSFER(Also see rule 12 %u2013 Enrollment and Attendance)PhilosophyThe following is a brief resume of the points of philosophy included in the transfer rule of this Association. a. Participation in interschool athletics is a privilege provided for students who meet the democratically-established standards of qualification as set forth by this Association. b. The privilege of participation in interschool athletics should fundamentally be available to Bona Fide students in school districts where their parents or legally-established guardians reside. c. Standards governing residence and transfer are a necessary prerequisite to participation in interschool athletics because: (1.) they protect the opportunities of Bona Fide students to participate; (2.) they provide a fundamentally fair and equitable framework in which interschool athletic competition, in an educational setting, can take place; (3.) they provide uniform standards for all schools to follow in maintaining athletic competition; (4.) they support the educational philosophy that athletics is a privilege which must not be permitted to assume a dominant position in a student%u2019s or school%u2019s program; (5.) they keep the focus of educators and students on the fact that students attend school to receive an education first and participate in athletics second; (6.) they maintain the fundamental principle that a high school student should live at home with his/her parents or legally-appointed Guardian (if the parents are deceased) and attend school in the school District in which the parents or Guardians live; (7.) they reinforce the view that the family is a strong and viable unit in our society, and as such, is the best place for students to live while attending high school; (8.) they serve as a deterrent to students who would transfer schools for athletic reasons and to individuals who would seek to recruit student athletes to attend a particular school for the purpose of building athletic strength; (9.) they serve as a deterrent to students running away from or avoiding an athletic conflict or discipline that has been imposed;Rule 19 - Eligibility and Transfer
