In Davidson County, we have two alternative schools, open to students from all three school systems, Davidson Co, Lexington and Thomasville.Do the early college programs not all work the same? Kids enrolled at CCC&TI Early College (Caldwell County) still play sports for their local high school team. For example: if you live in Lenoir and attend CCC&TI Early College program and still want to compete in athletics, you do so for Hibriten. It doesn’t work that way in Cleveland County?
Students attending Davidson County Early College cannot participate in athletics at the high school in which they are domiciled. Students attending Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy can. I don’t know the exact difference between the two schools, but that’s how it is. It’s a fact that they publicize greatly and all students know it before they enroll.
I’m not a big fan of kids who aren’t on campus for at least part of the day participating in sports at a school that they aren’t actively a part of. I may be in the minority, but I am not in favor of home schooled students being able to participate in high school athletics, unless its comprised of home schooled kids entirely.
