b.  WHERE PARENTS WORK: Students who live with their parents in one school district, and whose parent(s) is employed as a full time certified employee (teacher or administration), non-certified employees (who work at least 7 hours a day),  in a member school in another district, are eligible in the district in which the parent(s) work PROVIDED:  The school's local board policy approves employee waivers,  an ISBE Transfer Form is signed off by both schools, and an SIJHSAA Certified Employee Waiver Form is completed and signed by the parent and school administrator of the receiving school.  All of the above-mentioned forms must be completed and filed in the receiving school's Superintendent or designee's office no later than July 1, with one exception which is:  The deadline for new hires is September 1.  In cases where a Local School Board Policy has been established for children of employees in unit district with one high school and jr. hgih, high school employees children would be eligible at their district jr. high.

c. BOUNDARY CHANGES: Students affected by school boundary changes through annexation or detachment decertification will be permitted a one-time choice of districts in which they wish to attend. Whichever choice is made, said student(s) will be permitted to retain eligibility in that school for the balance of their junior high school careers, provided they are junior high students at the time of the boundary change.

d. PAROCHIAL SCHOOL BOUNDARIES: In regard to transfer students, the boundaries for an individual private or parochial school shall be the boundaries of the public school district within whose boundaries the private/parochial school is actually located. This allows the same guidelines to be used in connection with all transfer students in regard to school boundaries, whether public or parochial.

e. UNIT DISTRICTS: In school districts where more than one graded attendance center is maintained, a student shall be eligible at the attendance center that serves his/her area.  The boundary lines that were established prior to the formation of the unit district shall be considered the official boundary lines. This by law adheres to all Unit Districts, unless a special ruling is made by the BOC per Unit District.

f. GUARDIANSHIP: Change in guardianship does not automatically make a student eligible.  Guardianship is only one factor that will be considered by the SIJHSAA when ruling on such cases.  The eligibility of orphans, children whose parents are divorced or separated, children who are wards of the court, and children whose guardianship has been changed by a judge through the courts shall be subject to review by the Executive Director.  In cases involving a change of residence by students, parents, or those with whom students are residing, an official ruling must be secured from the SIJHSAA before any such students may be considered eligible.

Section 6 TRANSFERS:  If a student transfers from one school to another one, he/she shall be ineligible for a period of one calendar year unless:

     1.  If a student moves, with his or her family from one member public school district to another public member school district, which also contains a private/parochial member school, the student may have a onetime choice as to attending the public school or the parochial school within the new district.
    2.  If a student's transfer is based upon his/her being emancipated, an orphan, the student's parents being divorced or separated, a ward of the state or court, or a child whose legal guardianship has been changed by a judge, his/her case shall be subject to review by the Executive Director.  An official ruling must be secured from the SIJHSAA before any such student may be considered eligible.  Change in legal guardianship is only one factor to be considered by the SIJHSAA when ruling on such cases.  Changes in guardianship does not automatically make a student eligible.  Also, the 10 Attendance Day Rule applies.

b. Non-Residency Change Transfers:  The transfer is from a private/parochial school/home school to a public school or from a public school to a private/parochial school, with no residency change, and principals of both school involved accept the transfer, concurring that there is no evidence of recruitment in connection with the transfer.  The student would be ineligible fifteen(15) attendance days at the accepting school.  The 15 day period of ineligibility would start on the first day of attendance at the accepting school and would become eligible the day following.  No more than one(1) transfer per school year, without a residency change will be allowed.
     1.  Non-Public to Non-Public Transfer:  If the transfer is from a non-public school to another non-public school within a 30 mile radius of the student's home and the principals of both schools accept the transfer, concurring that there is no evidence of recruitment in connection with the transfer.  Once again, the fifteen(15) Attendance Day Rule applies.  No more than one(1) transfer per school year, without a residency change will be allowed.

Section 7.  TUITION STUDENTS:  Students paying tuition in one public school district and living in another shall be ineligible for one year from their enrollment date, except students who have always attended school in the same member school and whose parents move from the  district or community traditionally served by the school following the student's start of the second semester of the 7th grade. Such student(s)  may remain in that district or school, with the approval of the local Board of Education, and retain eligibility regarding residence for the 8th grade,  providing there is no undue influence to retain attendance of such  students.  These students shall be required to pay out of district tuition and  this section shall in no event affect the residency rules or requirements of  the ISBE.

Section 8.  SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS:
a. Students attending a Special Education or Special Vocational Education Cooperative Center, shall be eligible under the following conditions:
1. Students taking part of their work at the Special Center and part of their work in their home school shall be eligible at their home school only.
2. Students taking all of their work at a Special Education Center Shall have the option of participating for their home school district, which is counting their attendance, and receiving state aid for them or at the attendance center of their special education class.  Once the student has chosen the option, it will not be changed unless the student's Special Education Plan (IEP) changes.

Section 9.  UNIT TEAMS:
In school districts where more than one graded attendance center is maintained, a Unit Team composed of members of any or all of the said attendance centers can be declared eligible for competition by the Board of Control before July 1, of each calendar year.  The unit Superintendent of each district shall request the recognition of the said Unit District.  The written request should be submitted prior to July 1, of each calendar year.  In the event such permission to for a Unit Team is granted, that unit should be immediately eligible for competition in the SIJHSAA sponsored contests.  Upon such granting of permission, no attendance center in the unit is eligible for competition in SIJHSAA as a center for a period of one(1) calendar year.  In the event that such authority to develop a Unit Team is granted, the proposed Unit Team shall include the same obligations and privileges for the total program set forth in the By-Laws and Rules of the Association.  All proposed Unit Teams shall field sports for boys and girls.  Modifications may be made within the first five (5) years of the formation of the Unit District, upon written request by the Unit Superintendent specifically setting forth the modifications to be proposed.  Said modifications must be ruled on by the Board of Control before July 1 in the year before competition is to begin.  For example, if a team wished to participate in the 2013-2014 seasons, such petitions would need to be filed and heard and approved by the Board of Control before July 1, 2013. (When schools become Unit Teams it is for all sports offered between the Unit Schools)

a. REGIONAL MEETINGS or the Fax /E-mail Seeding Process require mandatory attendance or participation by each school. The penalty for failure to be represented at the Regional Organizational Meetings or participate in the Fax/E-mail Seeding Process (in any/all sports) is probation for 1 year and any subsequent violation, within that 1 year period, would add an additional 2 years of probation to the school.  Any subsequent violations within the 2 year extension would be brought to the SIJHSAA BOC for review.

b. Probation means that if the school or any of its representatives are found guilty of additional violations which also warrant probation, the school may be suspended from state series competition in all SIJHSAA sports for one calendar year.

c. Sites, ratings, officials, times, places are all to be voted on and established at the  regional meetings.  Decisions at these meetings are final…providing they are in accordance with SIJHSAA By Laws and regulations.

d. Sometimes sites, such as an available track, and officials are difficult to schedule at the “last minute.” Thus, there may be times when it is prudent to have such item secured in advance of your regional meeting.  HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE FACT THAT THE REGIONAL MEETING IS MANDATORY, ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY, AND THAT IT IS UP TO THOSE PRESENT TO FINALIZE AND APPROVE ALL REGIONAL TOURNEY OR MEET PLANS.

Section 1. All SIJHSAA tournaments in all sports are single elimination and shall be set up at the regional tournament organizational meeting. Tourney drawings with numbered brackets are available through the SIJHSAA office.

a.  A "window" of time is stipulated in each sport(other than cross country) for the scheduling of the regional tourney.  The window is basically a week in length and the participating coaches are asked to schedule the complete tourney within that window of time.  Do not leave the final date of the window open and skip to the day following.  The day following the regional window is to be used in cases where the finals were canceled due to circumstances beyond the control of the tourney manager.

ARTICLE  XVIII:  REGIONAL   TOURNEY   ORGANIZERS
In each sport where regional tournaments are held, tournament organizers shall be appointed by the Executive Director.  Some of the duties of organizers are:

a. Schedule a meeting of the coaches involved in the regional tourney. All sports have the option of using the Fax/E-Mail Process.  The Regional Organizer will have the option of using the Fax/E-Mail Process with the majority of regional schools involved approval.  Girls and Boys Track may now use electronic or fax/e-mail entry to replace the regional organizational meeting if all details of the regional meet may be handled electronically.

b. Regional Seeding Criteria and Breaking Ties:. Coaches will not be allowed to vote for their own team.  Coaches will determine their seeds based on these factors: (Head-to-Head victories against teams assigned to your regional, Record against common opponents, Total win/loss record of schools in the regional, Strength of schedule.  Note that these factors have not been prioritized.  The SIJHSAA reserves the right to review all submitted seeds per SIJHSAA BY Laws.

*Breaking Ties:  In the event that schools tie for a seed, the SIJHSAA will use the following criteria to break the tie:
                         1.  Head-to-Head competition between the tied schools
                          2. Random Draw (if more than 2 schools are tied for a seed)
                          3. Coin Flip (if 2 schools are tied for a seed and head-to-head competition can't break the tie)

g. Report the results of the meeting, including a tournament drawing,  to the   SIJHSAA office.

h. Pass pertinent information from the SIJHSAA Director on to the host.

i. Unethical Seeding Practices:  The actual seeds given by a school for the regional will be seen by all the schools assigned to the regional.  Each regional organizer should remind the school representative that the SIJHSAA has the right to review the seeding.  If it becomes apparent that some representatives have purposefully rated teams in a position that cannot be justified, appropriate actions may be taken by the SIJHSAA to correct the problem.
