BARABOO, Wis. (WRN) — A conservative legal group is suing the WIAA over transfer rules.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty accuses the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association of illegally interfering in the business of publicly funded and administered sports groups.
This is after a student who was forced to go from private to public schools due to an illness in her family was blocked from joining the Baraboo softball team. The girl’s family requested a waiver, and was denied.
A WILL spokesperson says the girl’s family pays school taxes and lives in the district, and the WIAA has overstepped its bounds as a private organization. The WIAA is declining to comment, due to the lawsuit.
