79. This is not the solution
These parents need to contact their Parks and Recreation Departments, local Y's, or other home school parents and create their own leagues.
Living in Texas, this will certainly lead to abuse (everything in Texas leads to abuse) as far as districting, attendance, GPA's etc.
Schools can take "home schooled" athletes out of one district, give them a fake address and have them playing on their teams without meeting the strict attendance and GPA guidelines that the University Interscholatic League requires. Not only will the school lose their per capita funding, they will also lose out on an out of district child whose parents pay NO taxes in that district.
I believe that this can only lead to more flagrant abuses.
The simple solution as stated previously--put your kid back in the public school and supplement their education at home.
Simple enough.
