RULES OF ORDER
(ADAPTED FROM OSSTF RULES OF ORDER)
The responsibility for conducting meetings lies with the Chief Executive Officer, or the person designated
by the Chief Executive Officer to chair the meeting or selected by the jurisdiction in accordance with its
Constitution and By–laws.
ROLE OF THE PRESIDING OFFICER
(A) The Presiding Officer calls the meeting to order at the appointed time.
(B) The Presiding Officer announces the business which should come before the assembly in its proper
order usually in the form of a printed agenda.
(C) The Presiding Officer assigns the floor to members who desire to speak. Once the Presiding Officer
has recognized the right of a member to the floor, it is the duty of the Presiding Officer to protect the
speaker from disturbance or interference. On the other hand, the Presiding Officer must never hesitate,
when the interest of the organization or its members requires, to permit a speaker to be interrupted, or to
limit the number of speakers to a motion.
(D) The Presiding Officer reads all motions that have been correctly moved and seconded. The Presiding
Officer may require a restatement, in the best possible form and without changing the intent, of any
motion the proposer has failed to submit correctly or clearly.
(E) The Presiding Officer explains what the effect of a motion would be if it is not clear to every member.
The Presiding Officer makes certain that members understand exactly what business is pending.
(F) The Presiding Officer restricts discussion to the question before the assembly.
(G) The Presiding Officer is responsible for answering all Parliamentary Inquiries and for deciding Points
of Order and Questions of Privilege as soon as they arise.
(H)The Presiding Officer never debates a motion while presiding.
(I) When discussion on a question has ceased or has been closed by a motion to that effect, the Presiding
Officer is responsible for restating the exact question upon which the assembly is to vote and
forputting the question to a vote
(J) When necessary, the Presiding Officer decides whether the motion has two or more independent parts
that may be voted on separately.
(K) When necessary, to verify and indecisive vote by show of hands, the Presiding Officer may require
voters to rise and be counted.
(L) The Presiding Officer votes only in case of a tie vote.
(M)The Presiding Officer states definitely and clearly the result of the vote.
(N) The Presiding Officer protects the assembly from annoyance by refusing to recognize motions that are
frivolous in character or that are made solely for the purpose of blocking business or of consuming
time.
(O) The Presiding Officer may be advised on parliamentary procedures by a Steering Committee which
may consist of one or more persons.

(C) The mover of a motion shall have the privilege of being the first speaker in the debate on the motion,
and shall have the further privilege of speaking once more to conclude the debate.
(D) Members who wish to speak to a motion must first be recognized by the Presiding Officer and should
begin by stating whether they support or oppose the motion, are moving an amendment, or have other
intentions.
(E) Members shall not speak more than once to a motion, except as provided in (C) above.
(F) After a motion or an amendment has been debated, the Presiding Officer calls the question by asking
those in favour of the motion to so indicate, followed by those opposed. The Presiding Officer then
declares the motion "carried" or "lost". In the case of a tie vote, the Presiding Officer casts the deciding
vote.

PROGRAMRATIONALE:
This Association recognizes that in the pursuit of athletic excellence there is a definite risk of
over-emphasizingtherequiredtrainingelementinherentinathleticsattheexpenseoftheeducational
component. There is no disputing that the requirements for physical conditioning and regulated
practicebyathleticparticipantsisanecessarypartofthetrainingfunctioncommontoanyeducation
system.However,meretrainingtodevelopmasteryofskillis,ofitself,insufficientgroundsonwhich
tojustifytheinclusionofathleticsineducation.
Foreducationimplies,attheveryleast,thedevelopmentofthestudent'sunderstandingand
appreciation of, not only sport itself, but also, the unique personal experience that comes from
participation.
Consequently, the interscholastic programs should exist for the enrichment of the athlete
ratherthanfortheathleteexistingforthebenefitoftheprograms.

Committee. Refer to item 5 below (Approval Procedure). The six categories under which a student may be ruled
eligible for competition are listed in Part C of the Transfer Appeal Form.
2. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
All students transferring to another school must complete Parts A, B and C of the attached S.D.S.S.A.A./O.F.S.A.A.
Transfer Appeal Form. It is strongly recommended that this be completed prior to leaving the school. The student

complete Part D. Students who do not complete this form prior to transferring may jeopardize their athletic eligibility at
the new school.
3. PROCEDURES - OUTGOING SCHOOL
3.1 The outgoing principal or the principal's delegate and co-curricular department head are requested to sign Part
D of the form and to indicate their acceptance or non-acceptance of the rationale for transfer. If the rationale is

2) That category 'd' requests are correct.
Co-Curricular program leaders are requested to confirm:

3.3 If completed prior to departure from former school, the form should be attached to the official school transfer
forms that the student presents to the Principal of the new school.
4. PROCEDURES - RECEIVING SCHOOL
4.1 When the principal or the principal's delegate of the moving school signs the form, he/she will be confirming
that the rationale relating to a change of course/program or change of permanent residence is correct.
4.2 The Appeal Form should then be submitted to the co-curricular program leader.
4.3 The Co-Curricular program leader will submit all requests for transfer eligibility to the Athletic Administrator by
the end of the second week of school in September or upon receipt of the appeal form when the student
transfers during the year.
5. APPROVAL PROCEDURE
5.1 The Athletic Administrator will review and approve, if appropriate, the category 'a', 'b', 'c' and 'd' (i) requests, as
well as requests for eligibility in sports that do not advance to N.O.S.S.A./O.F.S.A.A.
5.2 The Transfer Committee will review and approve, if appropriate, category 'd' (ii), (iii) or (iv) requests that have
outgoing principal and program leader approval and meet the conditions established by O.F.S.A.A. and the
local transfer committee. These reviews will be scheduled to coincide with O.F.S.A.A. hearing dates.
5.3 All other requests will be handled by the committee at one of three scheduled meetings. These dates will be
approved at the June Association meeting.
5.4 The documents listed on the next page will be required to support transfer applications that: (i) do not receive
outgoing school support, or, (ii) fall under category 'd' (ii), (iii) or (iv). A hearing may be called to review
documentation if deemed necessary. The student requesting eligibility may be required to attend this meeting
and may be accompanied by his program leader, coach or parent if deemed necessary.

PART C - APPEAL BASED ON (Please check the correct box)
Before determining the section of the Transfer Policy under which your appeal will be made, read the entire Policy, {pages 23-24 of the
S.D.S.S.A.A. Handbook} carefully so as to ensure that you are appealing under the appropriate section and that you are able to provide
the documentation and information required. Every student who has been registered from another school within the previous twelve
(12) months is ineligible for SDSSAA-sanctioned events, unless he/she appeals and is deemed eligible by the SDSSAA transfer appeal
committee under one of the four following sections:
(a) (i) there has been an accompanying change in permanent residence by the student and his/her immediate family to the
designated school from any system (public, catholic or independent) according to school boundaries (or is the closest
school in the student's choice of school system to the student's home if no school boundaries exist). Immediate family is the
parent(s) or the student’s legal guardian as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The student and his/her
immediate family must completely and permanently move from the former residence. On appeal, the student must provide
evidence/documentation confirming that they are residing in a new permanent residence, and evidence/documentation that
they have completely and permanently moved from the former residence. See Note 8.
(ii) Students transferring to an Ontario school from outside Canada or the United States and is attending the designated school
in their choice of system (public, catholic or independent) according to school board boundaries (or is attending the closest
school in the student’s choice of system to the student’s home if no school boundaries exist).
(iii) A student attending a school as a result of the closure of his/her former school and is attending the school designated by
the School Board.
(b) (i) the student did not participate in any sports at the interschool level for twelve months prior to the date of transfer. Written
confirmation from the Vice-Principal, Principal, Department Head, or Athletic Director of the school is required. Students in
their first year of grade nine may not apply under this section.
OR
(ii) the student accepts his/her ineligibility under the Transfer Policy, but requests eligibility for the sports he/she did not
participate in at the interschool level for the twelve months prior to the date of transfer. Written confirmation from the VicePrincipal, Principal,Department Head, or Athletic Director of the school is required. Students in their first year of grade nine
may not apply under this section.
(c) (i) the student has been placed in a school by an I.P.R.C. (Identification, Placement and Review Committee) decision. The
Association’s transfer appeal committee shall require and receive a letter from the Principal of the school from which the
student has transferred, stating the reason for the placement of the student by I.P.R.C.
(ii) the student has transferred from an independent school to a public or catholic schools as a result of an educational
exceptionality which the independent school was unsuccessful in accommodating. In such cases, the student was unable
to access the I.P.R.C. process (Indentification, Placement and Review Committee). The appeal must be accompanied by
the following information: a psycho educational assessment diagnosing an educational exceptionality, documentation from
the independent school demonstrating the strategies used to attempt to accommodate the educational exceptionality; and
documentation from the receiving school confirming additional and/or new methods being provided to accommodate the
educational exceptionality, which were not being provided at the sending school.
(d) the student:
(i) has transferred prior to their grade 10 year for exceptional personal, social or academic reasons. The appeal must be
accompanied by documentation from the sending school’s administration and/or independent sources to confirm the
exceptional reasons.
(ii) has changed residence to live with a custodial parent, or to live with a new, court-appointed legal guardian for exceptional
personal reasons. Documentation showing that there was just cause for the move must accompany the appeal. See Note
8 regarding proof of residence.
(iii) has transferred to remove him/herself from an abusive home environment. Documentation detailing the abusive situation
shall be provided by the applicant from the sending school, psychologists, social worker, medical doctor or police, as the
case may be. (All documentation will be reviewed respecting confidentiality.)
(iv) has been forced to leave an independent school specifically due to financial hardship. The appeal must include the
following information: documentation confirming change in tuition fees, documentation regarding family requests for bursary
assistance to meet financial hardship, documentation regarding significant changes in the financial situation of the family
and confirmation that the student will be attending the designated school in their home catchment area.
(v) the student was the victim of bullying and after attempts to resolve the issue, the sending school agreed that it was in the
best interests of the student to transfer schools. On appeal, the application must be accompanied by the following
information: documentation from the sending school’s administration or the police, confirming the seriousness and
frequency of the bullying, including a description of the incidents and dates; documentation from the sending school’s
administration describing the strategies put in place to resolve the bullying and the reasons the strategies did not succeed;
and a letter from the sending school’s administration in support of the transfer.
5.2(e)
Notwithstanding any of the information on the previous page, no student may participate in the same sport for more than one
school in the same League or municipality in the same school year unless the student is ruled eligible by the Association’s transfer
appeal committee under subsection (a) of the transfer policy. Participate means competing in exhibition games and invitational
tournaments/events, not just league play.
Notes:
1. Once a student has changed schools he/she is considered a transfer student and even if he/she returns to a school, he/she must
comply with the Transfer Policy.
2. The word "participate" in section (b) of the Transfer Policy means competing for your school in that activity. This includes exhibition
games and invitational tournaments/events, not just league play.
3. The SDSSAA Transfer Committee will not consider as reasons for transfer:
(i) the relative ranking of schools or the differences in delivery of courses with the same Ministry course codes;
(ii) that a sport or team is no longer offered at the previous school.
4. Students moving from a school in a strike/lock-out area are ineligible for all sports played in the previous 12 months from their date
of entry into the new school.
5. Students who attended an alternative school or alternative program who are returning to the school they attended prior to the
alternative school or alternative program, are not considered transfer students provided they did not play sports while at the
alternative school or alternative program.
6. Out of province and out of country exchange students are not considered transfer students and are eligible for all sports.
7. Driving distances shall be used to determine the closest school to a student’s home residence.
8. Students transferring from other provinces, states or countries who have graduated from high school or equivalent, are ineligible for
SDSSAA competition. This does not apply to students who have graduated in the previous school year from secondary school in
Quebec, providing they meet one of the criteria for eligibility in sections (a) to (d) of the transfer policy.
9. Students applying under section (d), must attend the next closest school (of their choice of school system) to their home residence.
10. On appeal under 'a' (i), the student will provide evidence/documentation confirming he/she and their immediate family are residing in
a new permanent residence and that they have completely and permanently moved from the former residence. When applying
under section 'd' (ii) of the policy, the student must provide evidence/documentation confirming that they are residing in a new
permanent residence.
In both cases, such evidence/documentation may include:
• telephone and utility service operative at the new residence;
• telephone and utility service disconnected at the former residence;
• vehicle registration listing the new residence;
• real estate documents indicating and verifying a change of residence (e.g., sale and purchase);
• parents/court-appointed guardians’ property tax bill listing the new residence;
• insurance slip for home and auto insurance;
• school documentation showing that sibling(s) attend local elementary school and/or the same high school as the transferring
student;
• any other documentation that is requested which establishes the student and his/her immediate family is living at the new
residence.
Production of evidence/documentation described above does not guarantee eligibility.

SUDBURY DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HISTORY OF THE NICKEL DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 6.1(a) In the early 1930's there was no need for a District Constitution. J.D. Wallace was Principal of the Sudbury High and Mining and Technical Schools. There was one combined Physical Education Department and the nearest competition was North Bay. Life was simple. L.E.R. Stephens became Principal of the Mining and Technical School in 1934. Physical Education continued jointly with the High School under Ed Wiley in their 'match-‐box" gymnasium: Bob McDorinan taught some of Tech's classes and Redmond Kinschular was active in coaching the combined football team. Competition was extended to include Sault Ste. Marie. Life was still very simple. In 1937, the Technical School broke away and formed its own department under Wilf Bell and Ellis Hazen. The same year Copper Cliff High School was built and their teams played exhibition games with the two city schools. In 1938 to 1939, Capreol entered to play hockey. There were no problems: a telephone call now and then arranged schedules and play-‐offs. The first interscholastic competition was in football: High 32, Tech 3: High 36 Tech 5: a sudden death playoff in six inches of mud resulted in a close score, Tech 7, High 6. The Technical School dressing room was a hut built by Mr. Irvine's boys in the wood-‐working shop. It had no heat, no lights, no toilets, no showers. High School, gracious in defeat, offered their 2-‐nozzle shower room to the Tech boys to wash off the mud. As competition against High School stiffened with the development of teams in Copper Cliff and Tech, it was 4onevitable that disputes would arise. Service Clubs were approached with the prospect of acting as Boards of Reference or arbitrators. Finally the three schools decided to organize an association to settle arguments among themselves. Joe Costigan of Sudbury High called the first meeting in the fall of 1939 and this was attended by Bill Harrington and Ellis Hazen. Bill was elected President, Joe -‐ Vice-‐President, and Ellis -‐ Secretary-‐
Treasurer with no bank account. Thus the Nickel District Secondary School Athletic Association was bom. The building of the Tech Gymnasium in 1940, know today as the 'C' Gym, coincided with the arrival of Alex MacPherson. Activity increased, meetings were longer, there was more to talk about as Alex poured out ideas from T.S.S.A. and T.D.I.A. The size of the football teams jumped from 6-‐man to 9-‐
man. Zone defence in basketball became so deadly in High's 'match-‐box" gymnasium, it was almost outlawed by the Association. SUDBURY DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 6.1(b) HISTORY OF THE NICKEL DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (cont'd) The first Interscholastic Skiing was between Copper Cliff and Tech in 1940. Tech's team ran Slalom in cross-‐country skiis. The championship was decided in the 15 and under class. Copper Cliff won. Next year it was decided in the 16 year class: Copper Cliff won again. The third year Copper Cliff won again. One of the first notices of motion to the Association was announced: the championship will be decided by adding the scores of all age groups. This seemed to be the only way to stop the Cliff foursome of Ripley, Kerr, Coo and Morrow. Bert McClelland's arrival in Copper Cliff heralded the domination of the school hockey league by the INCO 00 n. Bert's early and repeated successes in this sport were later to earn his school the exclusive right to be the only school from the outside district permitted to play in the new Sudbury league. War years!!! The Association carried on undaunted by gasoline rationing which prevented outside travelling, shortage of sugar for energy, and poor quality gym shoes of artificial rubber which blackened the floors. Many players cooked their supper when they arrived home from practice: mother was on afternoon shift at the smelter. Men on the staffs with Physical Education certificates thirty years old filled the breech while the coaches were in the Armed Forces. The post war years brought keen competition as teams fought for the right to enter N.O.S.S.A. play-‐offs and the Red Feather. The organization of O.F.S.A.A. tournaments from 1948, further stimulated athletic activity. In 1945 the Kiwanis Club offered financial assistance to the Association for Track and Field. Sacred Heart College dominated this sport in the next few years. Track stars were sent to Canadian Championships. Some reached the Olympics. The post-‐war baby boom finally caught up with the association. By the mid 1950's, provision was made for the entries of Lively, Nickel District and St. Charles. They were soon followed by Lockerby, Lasalle, Lo-‐Ellen and Garson-‐Falconbridge. Espanola's conversion from a prisoner-‐of-‐war camp to a thriving pulp town, Levack's becoming a district school, new sub-‐divisions growing in Chelmsford and Blezard-‐Hamner, increased the Association to 15 schools. The pressure of extended schedules and play-‐offs forced the association to divide. With 15 conveners and 150 coaches making reports and recommendations, the meetings were becoming unwieldly. SUDBURY DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 6.1(c) HISTORY OF THE NICKEL DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (cont'd) In May of 1967, the N.O.S.S.A. recognized the City of Sudbury and Nickel District as separate district. The same year, the Sudbury High School Board appointed Alex MacPherson, Physical Education Coordinator for seven of the nine schools in the Sudbury System. In January 1969, the Sudbury Board of Education was formed and this includes all schools formerly in N.D.S.A.A. and the S.S.S.A.A., so now we are one happy family again looking to the future.
