INTERPRETATIONS, 2.00 SECTION
BY-LAW 2.40 - STUDENT RETENTION FOR ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES
• SITUATION: A student is retained in the 8th grade until January
because; (a) he did not pass the promotion test until the fall semester,
or (b) his parents did not feel he was ready for high school in August.
How will affect the student’s GHSA eligibility?
RULING: Students who are not admitted to the ninth grade because
they did not pass a promotion test may have eligibility granted if the
high school files a copy of the school system’s promotion policy and
a copy of the student’s test scores. If the retention was for any other
reason, the filing process is outlined in by-law 2.42. Regardless of
the reason for the retention, the student’s 8-semester calendar to
participate in GHSA activities begins with the January entrance if the
retention is approved by the GHSA.
BY-LAW 2.50 - QUALIFICATIONS TO COACH
• SITUATION: A certified teacher is hired part-time in the local school.
May he/she be hired to coach cheerleaders?
INTERPRETATION: Yes, if the certified person is employed for
twenty (20) hours or more per week on a regular basis in a
professionally contracted position, and holds a valid teaching
certificate.
