A private investigator is helping the Arizona Interscholastic Association determine if Laveen Cesar Chavez's football program recruited players, the AIA confirmed on Monday.
The AIA relies on schools to self-report violations, but this is the first time the association has hired an investigator to look into one of its 274 schools. The AIA is trying to verify if Cesar Chavez coach Jim Rattay and the parent of a former Cesar Chavez player recruited players to go to that school.
Chuck Schmidt, the AIA Chief Operations Officer, declined to say who or what the investigator was looking into.
"That's not our decision," said Schmidt when asked if the AIA wants Rattay to step down. "The (AIA executive) board is trying to gather the facts as best as it can. Staffing decisions are strictly up to the schools and district. The board's concern is to uphold the AIA bylaws."
