DeWitt Public Schools will enforce upon a transfer student any period of ineligibility to which that student would have been subject as a result of a student or athletic code violation(s) at that student’s most recent previously attended school.

A student who transfers to DeWitt Public Schools after becoming ineligible because of a student or athletic conduct code violation(s) at the previously attended school shall remain ineligible at DeWitt Public Schools for no less than the period of ineligibility imposed by the previously attended school. This would be the case even if the student’s situation would otherwise satisfy one (1) or more of the exceptions to the transfer regulation of DeWitt Public Schools and the Michigan High School Athletic Association (Regulation 1, Section 9), and even if the act which caused the student’s ineligibility at the previous school would not be a violation or cause the same period of ineligibility at DeWitt Public Schools.

The student transferring is subject to the rules and penalties of the previous school and shall not be allowed to escape the consequences of his/her conduct and, in doing so, displace students of DeWitt Public Schools from teams, positions, events and awards at least until the full period of ineligibility has been served.
