The Kentucky Legislature is considering legislation to modify regulations pertaining to student-athletes in public schools. Testimony last week included the case of a northern Kentucky student.
Members of the Senate Education Committee heard the case of 13-year-old Keira Kobida. Kobida is transferring to Highlands High School in Campbell County where she hopes to participate on the swim team. But, the current regulation states any student who transfers from a district of residence to a nonresident district shall be ineligible for one year. Kobida said she’s happy she got accepted at Highlands.
