Neuqua Valley Girls Lacrosse IHSA Sanctioning of Lacrosse: What does it mean to be a sanctioned sport?
What is the difference between sanctioned and supported? IHSA Sanctioned for 2018 Season – News Release

– 11/07/16 , 11/21/16, 12/12/16- Next scheduled IPSD Board Meetings http://board.ipsd.org/Meetings.aspx
Current status in District 204 –
“There is no obligation for a high school to make lacrosse a varsity sport after the IHSA sanctions the sport. It is up to the individual schools' administrators to decide whether or not to make a sport part of their varsity program. It is also the decision of the schools' administrators to determine the level of support, financial or otherwise, the program gets. It is likely that some schools will continue to have lacrosse as a "parent funded, parent run" club while other schools will migrate to "school funded, school run" programs”
