Students organised a sit-in in support of Tim
Superintendent Debra Lineker issued the following statement on the matter, !High School principal Mariah Kramer questioned Tim Monette’s eligibility to play basketball, given that the district policy requires a student be in attendance on the day of the game to be eligible to play.
"She responded fairly and properly by letting him play last night and telling his parents that she needed to investigate this further in the morning. Never did she say definitively that he could not play.
"After consulting me and the school’s attorney first thing this morning it was decided that the home tutoring he is receiving constitutes the requisite attendance and as long as he has a doctor’s clearance for each game, he may be eligible to play.
"It is unfortunate that misinformation circulated through social media before it could even be resolved properly."
However, Tim then tweeted about the incident saying that he had been told he wouldn't be allow to play.
