Frequently Asked Friday
Q: Does the AAA investigate possible violations reported by parents or fans?
A: School administrators make the rules and agree to follow the rules as adopted. The superintendent and/or principal are ultimately responsible for their school's compliance with AAA rules. The AAA does not have an investigative arm; instead, it alerts the school administrators about the possible violation reported and relies on the integrity of the school administrators to investigate and self-report the findings.
