Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of the NJSIAA.
Administrative Responsibility – The Association must rely upon the voluntary
compliance by its member schools in enforcing the eligibility standards set forth in
Bylaws, Article V. Toward that end, the Principal in each member school has the
affirmative obligation to report to the NJSIAA any violations of these standards. The
fact that a school has disclosed that there has been an eligibility violation will not
relieve the affected school of sanctions that may be imposed against it, pursuant
to Article X of the Bylaws, including the forfeiture of games or events. However, the
failure to disclose an eligibility violation may be grounds for imposing additional
sanctions upon the offending school.
In addition, a school must maintain a status of “Member in Good Standing” as
outlined in the Principal’s Affidavit to remain eligible for NJSIAA activities and
tournaments.
