I'm PIAA-registered too - just not in that district. The reporter's project was talked about OFFLINE by a number of us at this year's convention. The consensus was that background checks are probably coming AND that they are pretty much useless.

If/when the checks come, I am not sure right now whether I am going to be willing to pay to have somebody check my background. If I decide not to go through that, I guess I'll be done with high school sports.

They are going to require that the officials to foot the bill? hmm...I wouldn't imagine that many officials would like that, no matter if they have something to hide or not.
