NCSA Poll of the Week – Grading
October 31st, 2008 - byControversy erupted at Hilton Head High School when a new principal set a new tough academic policy for student athletes. Principal Amanda O’Nan established standards that are actually stricter than the South Carolina School League Eligibility Requirements. The District is telling Principal O’Nan that she does not have the power to enforce such a policy. Some argue that instituting a policy stricter than other schools puts Hilton Head at a disadvantage. Others argue that the entire district needs to have a uniform policy. What do you think?
Should a School be Allowed to Create Tougher Academic Standards for Athletes?
