following to serve as a member for the remainder of the 2019-2020 term and continue on to serve for the 2020-

2021 term.

Cognia Tim Carter, Superintendent – Yavapai County Schools

STUDENT ELIGIBLITY APPEAL – PAPER REVIEW

REQUEST FOR HARDSHIP ELIGIBILITY – LEGAL GUARDIAN

On a motion made, seconded and carried the Executive Board approved the following Legal Guardian appeal:

Mountain View Marana High School

STUDENT ELGIBILTY APPEAL REQUEST

On a motion made, seconded and carried, the Executive Board approved the following student eligibility

appeal request:

Superior Jr./Sr. High School

ADDITIONAL GAME REQUESTS

Williams – additional VAR/JV softball games to help fill St. Michael’s schedule.

Coronado - an additional VAR softball game to help fill Tempe Prep’s schedule.

Safford – an additional girls’ tennis match to help fill Catalina’s schedule.

Desert Vista - an additional FR baseball game to help fill Pinnacle’s schedule.

Agua Fria – an additional boys’ volleyball game to help fill Estrella Foothill’s schedule.

EXCEPTION TO ARTICLE 24.5 - FOOTBALL

24.5 NUMBER OF GAMES IN SEASON

24.5.3 No player shall participate in more than ten football games per season, excluding qualifying and post-season tournaments. 24.5.3.1 EXCEPTION: 2A and 1A schools, because of their limited enrollment, may permit a player to participate in

50% more matches or games than the regularly scheduled matches or games per season, excluding qualifying and post-season tournaments. EXCEPTION: 3A players may participate in 6 quarters per week during the regular season.

Due to the movement in football conferences and limited enrollment, Benjamin Franklin, is requesting an

exception to Article 24.5 in allowing players to play up to 6 quarters per week at the 4A level. Because of limited

participation, it will be difficult to run a JV football program. In the past, the rule has been at Ben Franklin that if

a player does not start on varsity, they would play 2 quarters of JV. Thus, allowing them to develop against

equitable competition and size. This rule change would allow our players to develop through the JV program and

fill in on special teams for the varsity team. If the rule does not change, our typical JV players will be moved up

to Varsity full time to supplement special teams and will not get valuable reps on offense or defense.

On a motion made, seconded and carried the Executive Board approved an exception for any 3A school that

moved up to 4A may participate in 6 quarters per week for the 2020-2021 school year.

EXCEPTION TO ARTICLE 15.15 – INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ELIGIBLITY

15.15 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ELIGIBILITY – Prefatory Statement: In an effort to preserve and promote interscholastic

competitive opportunities for Arizona students and further the goals of competitive fairness and equity, and recognizing the

concerns of AIA member schools related to displacement of Arizona students by students from foreign countries, the following

bylaw addresses the interscholastic eligibility status of international students attending an AIA member school:

15.15.1 Foreign Exchange Students: A foreign exchange student is a student that is in the U.S. under a J-1 Visa, and who is

placed in a school by an educational exchange program approved by the Council on Standards for International

Educational Travel (CSIET). A foreign exchange student is eligible at a school in the attendance zone of the home in

which the student is placed. A foreign exchange student must meet all other eligibility requirements and is eligible for

a maximum of one school year.

Mountain Pointe High School is requesting a foreign exchange student be given the opportunity to participate on

the track and field team. The student was placed in the home of a current junior at Mountain Pointe High School

by the “International Student Exchange” which is on the CSIET list. The family resides in the Corona del Sol

boundaries, however, their daughter has been attending Mountain Pointe since her freshman year and has

participated on the track and field team every year.

On a motion made, seconded and carried the Executive Board approved the above request from Mountain

Pointe High School.

SCHOOL VIOLATIONS

MOHAVE ACCELERATED LEARNING CENTER Rule: Article 17. Coaches and Coaching, Section 4. Coach’s / Sponsor’s Code of Ethics (17.4.2.1)

Rule: Article 2. Membership. Section 6. Responsibility of School Administrators (2.6.2.1)

Reported Violation:

Assistant coach approached referees after the game was over, before they left the court. He was asking their

names and as they attempted to walk by him, he put both hands up with his palms open in an effort to stop them

from leaving. He made contact with the chest of one official. As the AD stepped between him and the official, he

then followed the referees and AD into the locker room area, still yelling at the officials. AD again told him to

leave, so he did.

Schools Corrective Action:

Assistant coach has been suspended for the remainder of the season. All coaches will receive extra PD regarding

treatment of officials before, during and after game protocol. AD will ensure that 2 administrators tend to officials

when the final buzzer sounds, rather than 1 as was in the past.

Executive Board Action: Executive Board, in accordance with Article 16, Section 1 of the AIA Bylaws, placed the Mohave Accelerated Learning Center Boys’ Basketball Program on Warning for one year 3/16/20-3/16/21.

PATAGONIA UNION HIGH SCHOOL – Patagonia Union High School District

Rule: Article 2. Membership. Section 6. Responsibility of School Administrators (2.6.2.3)

Reported Violation:

Fan from PUHS threw a water bottle onto the playing floor near the baseline during the last stages of the play in

game vs The Gregory School.

Schools Corrective Action:

In the coaches meeting before all sports season this kind of behavior will be addressed, and we will discuss the

negative connotations involved. The fan can be told that they cannot be present at the state playoff games in

Prescott if you direct me to do so. The fans in that area were addressed right after the incident by me, and I

warned them not to do it again. I sent the individual that threw it to go pick up the bottle so the refs could identify

the individual.

Executive Board Action: Executive Board, in accordance with Article 16, Section 1 of the AIA Bylaws, placed the Patagonia Union High School Activities Program on Warning for one year 3/16/20-3/16/21.

SCHOOL VIOLATIONS – Cont’d

HOPI HIGH SCHOOL – Hopi Jr/Sr High School

Rule: Article 15. Student Eligibility Rules, Section 10 Transfer Rule

Reported Violation:

A student on our girls’ basketball program transferred from Flagstaff HS following her freshman year. While at

FHS, she resided in the BIA Dorm. Her family resided within our district boundary. She transferred to Hopi to

begin her sophomore year. The athletics’ staff and coaches didn’t catch that she was a transfer student.

Therefore, she did not sit out the required first 50% of power pointed games and participated in the first 5 games

of the season.

Schools Corrective Action:

Contest forfeited. Since we had 19 games on our schedule, the student sat out the next 10 scheduled power

pointed games (Jan 7 – Jan 30). All coaches in the girls’ basketball program at Hopi High School received

additional training over the student eligibility requirements. Hopi High School has also evaluated and

implemented improved procedures to safe guard against this type of oversight. We created a report within our

student information system that will notify the athletics office.

Executive Board Action: Executive Board, in accordance with Article 16, Section 1 of the AIA Bylaws, placed the Hopi High School Activities Program on Advisement for one year 3/16/20-3/16/21.

COMBS HIGH SCHOOL – J.O. Combs Unified School District

Rule: Article 15. Student Eligibility Rules, Section 4 Academic Rule (15.4.1)

Reported Violation:

On Friday, February 14, at 10:36 am, I received an email about a wrestler that was participating at the state-

wrestling tournament with a failing grade. This wrestler was previously removed from the roster earlier in the

season; my administrative assistant and I were unaware that the wrestler had reestablished his position on the

team, which is why his eligibility was not verified prior to the sectional wrestling tournament. Once all of the

information was gathered and verified I contacted the head coach to let him know the athlete would need to

forfeit his matches at the state tournament.

Schools Corrective Action:

Contest forfeited at the state tournament. I will review our policies and procedures for dealing with grade checks

for students during our two-week window. I will meet with the coaches to review policies and procedures

determining if the athlete has been cleared for participation and making sure that all athletes that have been

cleared before participation is allowed.

Executive Board Action: Executive Board, in accordance with Article 16, Section 1 of the AIA Bylaws, accepted the violation submitted from Combs High School.

WALDEN GROVE HIGH SCHOOL – Sahuarita Unified

Rule: Article 17. Coaches and Coaching, Section 3 Completion of Contest – Ejection of Coach (17.3.1.1)

Reported Violation:

Varsity boys’ soccer coach received a red card during a playoff game and left the playing surface but went to the

stands instead. There were no other issues during the game. Coach thought that is where he needed to go.

Schools Corrective Action:

We have talked and will make sure all coaches are aware of where they need to go after an ejection during a

game either at home or on the road.

Executive Board Action: Executive Board, in accordance with Article 16, Section 1 of the AIA Bylaws, placed the Walden Grove High School Boys’ Soccer Program on Advisement for one year 3/16/20-3/16/21.

SAFFORD HIGH SCHOOL – Safford Unified Rule: Article 15. Student Eligibility Rules, Section 7 Physical Examination Rule // Section 8 Parental or Legal Guardian

Consent Rule (15.7.1) (15.8)

Reported Violation:

Head boys’ track coach permitted a student to participate in practice without proper clearance from the Athletic

Department. Specifically, the student’s name was noted as “not cleared” on the document – no physical on file,

no parent consent, or other SHS paperwork. The same clearance process has been in place for the past four

years. Though there was no malicious intent by the head coach, he acknowledges failure to adequately check

the clearance document when creating the attendance log.

Schools Corrective Action:

The head coach was required to meet with the AD for two meetings/trainings following the violation to review

school policies, AIA Bylaws and received discipline. As a veteran coach, he understands the bylaw and

acknowledges his mistake. He established a more effective system for initial clearance of athletes and creation

of daily roll-call. He was issued a letter of reprimand to remain in his file. Additional infractions may constitute a

relief of duties as coach.

Executive Board Action: Executive Board, in accordance with Article 16, Section 1 of the AIA Bylaws, placed the Safford High School Boys’ Track and Field Program on Warning for one year 3/16/20-3/16/21.

having a physical on file.

Schools Corrective Action:

implemented. Prior to the start of each season, the site AD meets with coaches to review district, site and AIA

policies. A follow-up email will be sent to all coaches in regard to the Athletics clearance process in additional to

the requirement of using Register My Athlete to verify the status of a student-athlete.

Executive Board Action: Executive Board, in accordance with Article 16, Section 1 of the AIA Bylaws, placed the Marcos de Niza High
