This time, when the report reaches the principal on Thursday afternoon, the students’record shows improvement to passing twenty five (25) credit hours. Now the principal will inform the student and coaches on Fridaymorning that the student will become eligible again the following Monday morning. Please note that the student is not permitted to play on this Friday and Saturday because of last week’s failure to meet the grade requirements.A student becoming scholastically ineligible by the weekly eligibility check must remain ineligible for one full calendar week beforepossibly becoming eligible again.8. SANCTION POLICYThe Board of Directors has adopted the following policy as its interpretation of By-law 2.060 “Multiple School Interscholastic Activities.” The IHSA sanction policy applies to interscholastic events in which the IHSA sponsors a state tournament series.Events that require Formal Sanctioning include:a. Any interstate event involving two (2) or more schools which is co-sponsored by or titled in the name of an organization outside the high school community (e.g., a university, a theme park, and an athletic shoe/apparel company).b. Non-bordering events if five (5) or more states are involved.c. Non-bordering events if more than eight (8) schools are involved.d. Any event involving two (2) or more schools that involves a team from a foreign country. The host school should complete the international sanction application. (The exceptions to this rule are Canada and Mexico, which are considered bordering states).e. In order for an event to receive sanctioning in Illinois all invited and participating schools in the event must be member schools of their high school state association or approved for competition by their respective high school state association. If any listed school does not receive approval the event will be denied by the IHSA. Any non-high school team cannot be involved in any respect with a sanctioned event.No sanction is required if all competing schools, regardless of the number of competing schools, are from states that border the host state unless the event is co-sponsored by or titled in the name of an organization outside the high school community.Events that need sanctioned, visit nfhs.orgA listing of sanctioned events can be found on nfhs.orgMember schools may request approval for Special Events that do not meet the regular sanction criteria.
