I agree,,, I don’t see any workable solution. I do know that last time there was a big push, it was directed at the private schools. Now that you have statewide athletic charter schools there is more momentum to address it. The Bishop England’s and other private schools in the schsl were easy for the big schools to just ignore. But now you have schools like Wando, Summerville, Northwestern, Rock Hill and Dutch Fork all losing kids to the new charter schools. There will be more push to address the attendance line loop hole. They have already started by simply refusing to schedule them.

The charter schools have a statewide attendance zone. They can attract students from anywhere. They do have to follow the same rules if they transfer to their school after already attending another school. They have to sit out a year. But if a kid enrolls there at the beginning of thier freshman year ,,, they would be immediately eligible regardless of where live.
