Judge: Cyber student doesn't have right to play for high school
A cyber-school student won't make the cut on the basketball team at her public high school, a federal judge has ruled. Megan Angstadt, 16, sued a central Pennsylvania school district in an attempt to play for Middleburg High School. "There is no constitutionally protected interest in playing sports," U.S. District Judge James McClure Jr. wrote in his ruling Thursday, dismissing the case against the Midd-West School District. McClure had denied Angstadt a temporary injunction last year when she sought to play in four remaining junior varsity games.... McClure declined to take up the question of whether cyber schools are legitimate charter schools or merely distance-learning programs.
