EVAC schools use homeschoolers on their teams,
but will not compete against homeschool teams!
After 16 years of climbing up the ladder of acceptance for homeschooled athletes, please note the following amendments to EVAC bylaws that disqualified us from membership!
Article 3.Membership
Section 3.03 Membership Criteria
Membership in the EVAC shall be limited to private schools which the EVAC Board
of
Directors, in its sole discretion, determines to have maintained all of the
following: (a) a regular
paid faculty; (b) a regularly enrolled body of pupils or students in regular
attendance at the same
place and facilities where the School's educational activities are regularly
carried on; and (c) a
curriculum based, developmentally appropriate program of education which meets
criteria
leading to high school graduation as approved by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
RESOLVED: The above amendment shall be filed with the official records of the
EVAC
and shall take effect on December 30, 2005.

by a member school s
shall be duly enrolled as pupils or student at such member school, and no more

home schooled as

and all five schools voted in favor of these two amendments to their Bylaws.
