| - Notwithstanding any other provision under this ARTICLE, a student enrolled at, or who would have otherwise been promoted to, a PIAA member school which ceases, primarily for budgetary reasons, to sponsor one or more of its Teams (the "Terminating School") may Transfer to, and be eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics at, another PIAA member school (the "Receiving School") under the following conditions: a. Within one year immediately preceding the date of Transfer, the student must have been a member of the Team which was subsequently terminated primarily for budgetary reasons, by the Terminating School or, if being promoted, was a member of a Feeder School's Team in that sport; b. The student, because of the termination of the Team primarily for budgetary reasons, Transfers to a public school or Private School located within the public school district of the student's residence or to such a school located in a contiguous public school district; c. The student must submit to the District Committee of the student's residence a properly executed PIAA Member School Athletic Transfer Waiver Request Form specifying that the reason for the Transfer is the termination of the Team, primarily for budgetary reasons, by the Terminating School, accompanied by certification by the Terminating School's Principal confirming that (1) the Team was terminated; (2) the Team was terminated primarily for budgetary reasons; and (3) the student participated within one year immediately preceding the date of the student’s Transfer on the terminated Team at the Terminating School or on one of its Feeder School Team’s in that sport; d. Upon receipt of the applicable Form and certifications, the District Committee shall provide confirmation to the student and the Receiving School’s Principal that the student is eligible at the Receiving School in the sport which had been terminated primarily for budgetary reasons by the Terminating School; e. A student desiring to play any other sports at the Receiving School must so indicate such intention upon submission of the PIAA Member School Athletic Transfer Waiver Request Form (a supplemental Form may be submitted later if the student does not know at the time of the initial submission whether the student will participate in additional sports at the Receiving School). The applicable District Committee may conduct an inquiry as to whether the student's Transfer was materially motivated in some way by an athletic purpose relating to that sport and, if it so finds, may declare the student ineligible to participate in sports other than the terminated sport for a period of one year immediately following the date of the student’s Transfer. The student may, however, re-enroll at the Terminating School and remain eligible to participate in all sports at that school. Upon such re-enrollment, the student is not later entitled to eligibility under this Section should the student again Transfer for the same terminated sport. f. Should the Terminating School reinstate the terminated sport in a future year, a student who has transferred is permitted to Transfer back to the Terminating School and shall, without further action, is automatically eligible to participate in all sports at the Terminating School. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require any PIAA member school to accept a student requesting to Transfer to that school. This Section is not applicable where the Terminating School has entered into a Cooperative Sponsorship of a Sport Agreement with any other PIAA member school to permit participation by students at the Terminating School in the terminated sport. Any PIAA member school, or affiliated personnel or persons, which in any way recruits students from a Terminating School is subject to the provisions of ARTICLE VI, TRANSFERS, RESIDENCE, AND RECRUITING, Section 7, Recruiting, of the PIAA By-Laws.
