This rule can't be retroactive. Therefore, the only students it will affect are the ones who are held back after the rule goes into effect. The only question that remains is how it will affect the school districts who has middle schools that are grades 7/8 only. If their 6th grade does not compete as a middle school team then I would assume that there is nothing that the KHSAA could do to stop students from repeating 6th grade since the rule only imposes a penalty during the holdback year.
