"Lauren Gentry" Bill Signed Into Law: (excerpt from LIBPA Newsletter, June 2008)

Lauren Gentry, was a star softball player at Battery Creek High School who transferred to Beaufort High School in an effort to escape harassment from an ex–boyfriend. In changing schools without a change in address, the S. C. High School League ruled that had lost her eligibility to play softball her senior year. District 124 Representative Shannon Erickson, upon hearing of Lauren’s problem, initiated a bill to insure that S. C. law would allow high schools to make exceptions in cases, such as Ms. Gentry’s, where the reason for transferring involved
the individual’s safety. The picture above this article tells the end of the story in that the House of Representatives and the Senate supported the “Lauren Gentry” bill and Governor Sanford is shown signing the bill with Ms. Gentry and Representative Erickson in attendance. The bill did not pass in time for Ms. Gentry to play softball her senior year. However, the fact that her state representative would take up her cause and insure that in the future, students in cases similar to hers could continue to play sports is priceless. That is real constituent service on the part of an elected official. Nice work Representative Erickson.
