This bill proposes the repeal of section 18-2-25e of the Code of West Virginia, which currently mandates that the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission must modify its rules to permit high school students transferring between schools to retain their athletic eligibility. By repealing this requirement, the bill allows the Commission to exercise discretion in determining the rules regarding athletic eligibility for transfer students.
The intent of the bill is to provide the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission with the flexibility to establish its own guidelines for athletic eligibility without being bound by the previous mandate. This change aims to streamline the process and potentially enhance the management of athletic programs within the state's high schools.
