The underlying issue is the state funding for the enrollee. School
districts CAN release the funding for an in district student to
another school, and many ind/county schools have/had agreements
pretty much making it automatic. But both sides must agree
to it. And that is what a lot of it comes down to as much or
more than issues about athletic eligibility. Some schools might
not care if student B goes to school X to play ball, but they
won't let the state money follow him there. And that's
where public school tuition comes into play.
