They may now select a new school of eligibility without being subject to the ASAA transfer rules. It would have been unfair for Skyview\u2019s students to be ineligible and have to sit out of interscholastic activities for 90 school days. Now these students can establish a new school of eligibility and continue on with interscholastic opportunities. I would like to personally thank Gary Matthews, ASAA executive director and the entire ASAA Board for working with KPBSD to best meet the needs of our Skyview students on this matter.\u201d<br \/>\n<b>Questions<\/b><br \/>\nIf you have questions or concerns, contact John O\u2019Brien, Director of Secondary Education and Student Activities, 907.714.8884, or email <a href=\"mailto:jobrien@kpbsd.org\">jobrien@kpbsd.org<\/a>.<br \/>\n<b>Links<\/b><br \/>\ninformation on KPBSD website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ASAAandSkyviewSportsEligibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ASAAandSkyviewSportsEligibility<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/asaa.org\/\">Alaska Schools Activity Association (ASAA)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/students_parents.aspx?id=462\">Kenai Peninsula Student Activities Association (KPSAA)<\/a><br \/>\nPDF:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2014\/05\/KPBSD-2014_05_14_Soldotna-high-school-reconfiguration-and-ASAA-sports-eligibility.pdf\">KPBSD 2014_05_14_Soldotna high school reconfiguration and ASAA sports eligibility<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>###<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenai Peninsula Borough School District contact: Pegge Erkeneff, 907.714.8888 News Release Soldotna reconfiguration requires former Skyview students to determine school of eligibility for sports Soldotna, May 14, 2014\u2014 Current 2013-2014 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/2014\/05\/27\/asaa-skyview-students-to-determine-school-of-eligibility-for-sports\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;ASAA &#8211; Skyview students to determine school of eligibility for sports&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[17,22],"tags":[148,934,962],"class_list":["post-1383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-release","category-sports","tag-asaa","tag-skyview-high-school","tag-sports-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1383\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
