  The Kingsburg Recorder: Appeals are filed to fight... - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 6/3/2003    Last Visited: 6/4/2003  

  "We are trying to get six-team leagues," said Gene Etheridge, principal of Orosi High School."We are hopeful of reopening the dialogue and getting all of the concerns discussed and not being ramrodded into action by whoever."
  
  Etheridge personally carried the East Sequoia's appeal to Crichlow's office in Porterville.
  ...
  "We support Gene and the ESL and we plan on being there when this is heard again," said Linda Clark, superintendent and principal at Kingsburg.
  ...
  Etheridge explained that the ESL's appeal focused on three points that came out of the May 14 meeting and final vote:
  
  How the due process rights of schools were violated,
  
  Concerns raised by leagues about the realignment plan, and
  
  Counterproposals submitted by the ESL "which includes every school affected by the proposed change."
  
  "All the Sequoia schools will be able to show their support or non-support of this," Etheridge said of three counterproposals the ESL submitted.About the May 14 vote he added, "All we want to do is make sure that everything was followed properly."
  
  Etheridge said he believes due process was violated because a requested "roll call of committee members present and record of vote of each league placement committee member during the placement committee meetings [held prior to the May 14 meeting] has been requested and not received," the appeal stated.
  ...
  Instead of this process, Etheridge said the section's placement committee began meeting in February and the final vote was taken on May 14.
  
  "We are either a half-year behind or a half-year ahead in our process," Etheridge said."I think that is not good when we are trying to teach kids how they should follow rules and be accountable."
  
  The ESL's appeal also noted concerns about the economic impact of the 8-8-6 alignment, which would result in significant increases in travel mileage to games for many schools and would take students out of their classrooms for longer periods.
  
  "The plan is in direct violation of the guidelines supported by the superintendent's Inter-League CIF Council concerning student/athletes academic time out of class and the increased economic impact for many schools and leagues," the ESL's appeal stated."Those are solid concerns and open for debate," Etheridge added.
  ...
  Etheridge said those leagues are too unwieldy and are the major cause for increased costs and time out of school.
  ...
  Etheridge fired one final warning shot at the executive committee well in advance of its August special meeting.
  
  "If this [appeal] is not approved, it goes right to the Federated Council of the state," he said of an appeal step beyond the section's executive committee.

  The Kingsburg Recorder: Two releaguing appeals are... - [Cached Version]

  "Our appeal is definitely valid and I think the state will uphold that," Gene Etheridge, principal of Orosi High School and lead representative for the East Sequoia League, said following the nearly two-hour special meeting held in Visalia on Aug. 13.
  
  "We think we have a valid point in terms of our complaint.We are going to be going to the state level for appeal," Etheridge said.He said he did not know how that procedure would play out or how long it might take.
  
  Central Section executive committee members called the meeting to hear appeals filed by the East Sequoia League and Garces.Though using different approaches, both appellants challenged the realignment of sports leagues in the Sequoia Division that was narrowly approved by the committee last May.
  
  Etheridge and the ESL cited violations of due process in previous votes taken on the issue as well as the placement committee's failure to follow the releaguing timeline set forth in the section's constitution.
  
  Drawing support from the Central Sequoia League, the ESL also contested the creation of the 8-8-6 alignment in the division, saying it violated guidelines established by the Superintendent's Inter-League CIF Council, which recommended limits on the amount of time spent out of class by student/athletes and on economic impacts of increased travel costs for many schools involved in the realignment.The ESL also contended that a three-league alignment would cost the division votes on the executive committee -- each league gets two votes -- and would limit their opportunity to schedule contests outside their leagues.
  
  "We believe that there is a majority of Sequoia Division schools that are not in favor of this alignment plan," Etheridge told the committee during its hearing.
  
  Instead of three leagues encompassing the Sequoia Division's 22 schools, the ESL proposed that two five-team leagues and two six-team leagues be created.The leagues would be aligned geographically and would more effectively contain travel costs and time spent out of school, Etheridge said.
