I may be wrong, but I left the rules meeting in Chanute the other night with the understanding that there were only 3 reasons a kid could certify after christmas and all 3 were due to hardship and had to be approved by the KSHSAA with a written letter from the school administration. Coach Albright had Mr Bowden all flustered and it did not seem like the topic was up for discussion because it was explained to the group that the steering committee was the driving force and they had data to back up their findings so it was not up for discussion.
