The annual meeting of the KHSAA was held on Thursday afternoon at the Central Bank Center in Lexington. The KHSAA Delegate Assembly voted 168-52 in favor of Bylaw 6 allowing athletes who have participated in 20% or less of games played to transfer to another school with no penalty. The current rule applies the one-year penalty for ineligibility with any varsity participation without a minimum. The Delegate Assembly is composed of one representative of the 291 member schools with 244 of those schools represented at this year’s meeting.
Additionally, the Delegate Assembly voted 204-13 on Bylaw 7 which keeps foreign exchange and other foreign students, to clarify eligibility for F-1 VISA students staying multiple years, effective with those placed initially during the 2026-27 school year
KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett said, “We are always pleased when our membership actively is involved in the management of what they do everyday. This gives them valuable continuing education in the morning sessions and conduct their business meeting in the afternoon.
Proposals passing today will now start through the regulatory approval process, the first step of which is the November Board of Control meeting.
