If the parents of a transfer student vacate the residence prior to one year from the date of transfer and the student remains in the school into which the transfer was approved. Penalty for the student: ineligibility for one year from the date the parents vacate the residence.

Bylaw 4-7-2

If a student transfers after the fifth day of the student's ninth grade year or after having established eligibility prior to the start of school by playing in a contest (scrimmage, preview or regular season/tournament contest), the student will be ineligible for one year from the date of enrollment in the school to which the student transferred. A student is considered to have transferred whenever the student changes from that school in which the student was enrolled as a ninth grader to any other school regardless of whether the school from which the student transferred or to which the student transfers is public or non-public, member or non-member or whether the high schools are within the same school district.

Exception 1 — If the parents or legal guardian have made a bona-fide legal change of residence from one public school district to another public school district, the student may enroll in either the public school within the boundaries of that public school district that includes the new residence of the parents or legal guardian or any non-public school, and be immediately eligible insofar as transfer is concerned. Note: See the definition of a bona fide residence in Bylaw 4-6-1.
