If the family chooses to on line/ home school, they should be refunded their tax dollars of whatever the going rate is nowadays, set forth by the state government.  

Still not be allowed to participate in extra/co-curriculars.

Not going to happen.  The schools tend to make money on kids that are partially homeschooled if I'm not mistaken.  My kids attended and attend part-time and I believe the state provides funding to the school at a per credit rate higher than a student attending full time.

As I also pointed out to the admin, the partial homeschool kids also take up less than their fair share of resources to making them fairly decent investments on average for most schools.

I couldn’t imagine starting a football season in Indiana in February... We would have a hard time practicing since we wouldn’t get support to plow the field at Pioneer!

What about a family that chooses a private or parochial school?  Do they get the refund?

No refund per se, but they do get a deduction on their income for state taxes ... $1,000 per kid.  Sounds like something until you realize that, with the tax rate being around 3.4% it ends up being a whopping $34 back per kid.  Same thing applies for homeschooled kids.

Word is the School City of Hammond has canceled all contact sports for the remainder of the year. Hunting for confirmation.

Saw it on Region Sports. 4-1 vote by the school board.

Don’t they already, with the voucher program?  That is, if they are “poor” enough.

the allowance of Student Athletes to participate in Distance/E/or Virtual learning and participate in ECA for that school has been left completely up to each individual school corporation to decide what they want to provide for their school community.  

Some agree with that stance

Some would contend if they are concerned about being in a building then they shouldn't be in a sport

Some think the sport being outside negates that

Again, which IMO has been a constant theme in our Pandemic times since March, there is not an one size fits all model/policy on how each individual family chooses to react to options provided  throughout these times.  Each school communities are choosing what they are most comfortable with with the guidance so far from the Gov Office and now local Health departments.   That threshold clearly is different at different parts of the state.

They could be a lay coach.

It could be on passing periods, lunches, or preps. They do get their own time to do things also.

Who cares....Not all coaches are teachers nor administrators. Do you want the $1.48 you might contribute to that particular teachers/coaches yearly salary back? Don't be hypocritical people answer texts, emails and social media content when they are on the clock in every profession. This isn't 1990 when you had to walk to the pay phone in the schools lobby to call home, lol.

To add to those conditions, every time I’ve been on here during the workday, I’ve made sure I’m never on school WiFi.

UConn  not playing football this fall:(

UConn (FBS independent) not able to schedule any opponents and decides to cancel. They’re not Notre Dame. 

In one of the 1,000 threads on here, wasn’t there a discussion about difficulty of scheduling for independents?

Speaking of Notre Dame. Anyone notice how Jack Swarbrick changed his tune about a delay as soon as ND was able to field a full ACC schedule this fall?
