As a 25 year teacher/administrator I think the rule as written was terrible. I moved from Scottsdale to East Mesa in my son's freshman year so my children would be on the same school calendar. Should he have had to sit for a year? Should someone who wants to move closer to work or to a better district have to sit out because it was less than 25 miles? 50 is rediculous.
No one mentions that there was a hardship rule which would have opened up a major can of worms. My schools have had students come and leave by using the hardship rule by faking out the AIA with a BS story. I could live with a 5 or 10 mile rule, 50 is way too long.
