Pennsylvania parents whose children attend a parochial school that lacks athletic programs and who wish to enroll their children in sports at their home district can now do so.
According to a press release from the Thomas More Society, an Interim Consent Order was issued in federal court Monday afternoon which directs the PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) to end the exclusion of these students.
This effectively settles a lawsuit filed earlier this summer by Special Council Tom Breth representing several Pennsylvania parochial school families alleging that the PIAA Bylaws violate the U.S. Constitution.
Previously PIAA bylaws only granted charter school and homeschool students the right to participate in athletics at their home school district.
Families interested in this opportunity should contact the Athletic Director and the Superintendent of their home school district to ask them to contact the PIAA.
Parents will still need to complete the required paperwork, proof of physical, grades, and attendance.
