The California Department of Education has ordered the Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District to leave the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association and join the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section after a conflict between federal and state rules on student athlete eligibility.

The district says the transition presents significant logistical challenges, including different sports seasons and winter field conditions. Congressman Kevin Kiley criticized the change, say
