The new proposal to rule students attending on an F1 Visa as ineligible to participate in varsity sports, to be voted on May 1, was unanimously approved.

"We are at a point, in my opinion," said Northridge High Principal Jason Smith, "we have a major trust issue with some of our schools. ... I don't trust the schools. I don't trust the coaches, I don't trust what was just said. … Personally for me, and in Region 5, the trust is gone."

Pinnacle Academy Principal Roberta Hardy said she sees the proposed rule change as just a first step in addressing what she described as a human rights issue.

"This is the first part," she said. "But I want to go on record saying this is not the end. … I'm for sanctions, kicking people out whatever it takes, because this is ridiculous. … This is so heinous toward kids, that we're bringing them here simply to use them.

"And I'll fight with every last breath to keep going on. So I want the member schools that have come in today … I want them to hear what I'm saying. We're not done. This isn't the end. We're just beginning."
