I'm confused about the point of this. All high schools in the state may "recruit" 8th graders to attend their school. Some schools do a better job than others -open houses in the winter and spring, interactive websites/use of social media, slick/high quality direct mailings, having "middle school" night at athletic events, dances for future students, and other creative ways to draw attention to what your school offers.

The stated KHSSA policy does not stop schools from doing any of these things.

2)What are permissible contacts by coaches, athletic directors and other individuals with a connection (direct or indirect) to the athletic
program or school?
Permissible contacts include:
1) Public high school representatives contacting students at feeder public schools (elementary, middle school, junior high school) where there is a defined feeder pattern;
2) Non-public school representatives contacting students at feeder non-public schools (elementary, middle school / junior high school) where there is defined feeder pattern;
3) A representative of the school may initiate a meeting with students at a school that is defined as a feeder school or meet with students who are zoned to attend that school the following year. This visit shall be cleared by principals of both schools and shall not be specific to athletic opportunities; and
4) Any student or family or individual that contacts a coach about attending a school where he or she coaches shall be informed that they need to be referred to the principal, admissions department or guidance department if they have an interest. Any meeting with coaches regarding athletes or prospective athletes or their families shall be at the request
