Summary

The appellant seeks reversal of a decision made by the Iowa High School Athletic Association Board of Control on February 16, 2008, denying the request for her son to receive an additional year of eligibility.

The issue presented is whether the student's academic struggles and the remediation plan designed to address them constitutes a sufficient "extenuating circumstances" to justify granting him an additional year of athletic eligibility.

This record failed to show sufficiently compelling and/or unique circumstances to justify an extension.

The decision made by the Board of Control denying an extension to the eight-semester eligibility rule in this case is correct.
