There are always rules and regulations when it comes to eligbility for high school students playing athletics.
Two developmentally-disabled students who attend a private school in DC, it appears, were traditionally steered to play football at another school. But that idea has gotten the public school in some hot water and the kids on the sidelines.
Here's the story out of DC
The hook in all of this seems to be that, if the two were attending the public school in the first place, their eligibility wouldn't be in question. There are other states that allow home-schooled athletes to pair themselves with schools in their district.
But the comeback would be that those two may not have had that option to continue their schooling with their disabilities in the public school that may not have been properly prepared for their schooling.
The HQ doesn't see this as "over" for a while...

Deion Fired From His Own School... Again...
((HT: WFAA-TV))
Deion Sanders created the Prime Prep Academy as an alternative to the public school system in the Metroplex, but this time, it has nothing to do with the alleged assaulted of one of the administrators.
Sanders was rehired the next day. But this time, the Texas Education Agency gets to look at a power struggle up close.
Deion was fired again yesterday and 75 students walked out of class as a sit-in protest...
Sanders has been fired by administrators whom he and Prime Prep Board President T. Chris Lewis have been trying to replace. Obviously, they don't want to be replaced...
There are conflicts of interest all over the place, it seems, and this is a flat mess...
Here's Deion addressing the media from outside, since authorities won't let him inside...
So, of course, the kids are the ones taking it in the face on this one all over again...
And this is far from over...
