it might stop some or many of the transfers between schools within a city...
another new rule sets the stage for private schools to have the multiplier waived..
"Proposal 8 provides for a process by which a non-boundaried school may apply to have the 1.65 enrollment multiplier waived. Such a process would be established by the IHSA Board of Directors with input from a subcommittee comprised of members of IHSA staff and the IHSA Legislative Commission"
"Proposal 8 (passed 255-175) provides for a process by which a non-boundaried school may apply to have the 1.65 enrollment multiplier waived. The process will be established by the IHSA Board of Directors with input from a subcommittee composed of members of IHSA staff and the IHSA Legislative Commission."
2009-10 -- Proposal No. 8
Amend By-law 3.170 -- Classification
Revised By-law 3.170 (passed):
The IHSA Board of Directors has the complete authority to establish and implement policies to
determine the number of classes of competition in IHSA sports and activities and to classify
schools participating in such sports/activities except as follows:
An enrollment multiplier of 1.65 will be added to all non-boundaried schools unless application
of this multiplier is waived under a policy of waiver which would be established by the
Board of Directors.
The definition of a non-boundaried school is: Any private school, charter school, lab school,
magnet school, residential school, and any public school in a multi-high school district that does
not accept students from a fixed portion of the district.
Classifications shall be determined on an annual basis.
There will be a sub-committee comprised of IHSA staff and Legislative Commission
members to develop the waiver policy for submission to the Board.
Rationale
On June 15, 2005, the principals of non-boundaried schools received a memo explaining an appeals
process for those schools impacted by the multiplier. Ten schools were granted waivers as a result of the
waiver policy developed by the IHSA staff and approved by the Board of Directors. This system should
be brought back because it considered the unique missions and situations of some non-boundaried
schools. Under the current system, some of the schools are not competitive at a higher classification and
have provided little competition for their opponents.
Non-boundaried schools with an enrollment of 450 to 735 may appeal the application of the multiplier to
their school. The appeal must be filed with the Executive Director who is charged with ruling on all such
appeals. As provided in Section 1.460 of the IHSA Constitution, appeals of the Executive Director’s ruling
may be made to the IHSA Board of Directors. Schools who wish to appeal the application of the multiplier
for their school, in all sports except football, for the 2005-06 school term, must provide the following
information by August 1, 2005:
1. List all schools in each of the conferences of which you are a member.
2. Provide a list of all regional, sectional, super sectional and state final championships (excluding
football) your school has won during the last five years.
3. Provide a list of all athletic schedules and results (excluding football) for your school’s teams for
the last five years.
4. List the percentage of students enrolled in your school during the 2004-05 school term who reside
in the public school attendance area in which your school is located. If your school is located in a
multiple high school district, identify the specific high school attendance area in which your school
is located.
5. List the number of public school districts from which your school had students enrolled during the
2004-05 school term.
6. List the unduplicated number of students in your school who participated in any interscholastic
activity.
7. Provide copies of all promotional materials used by your school along with printouts of any web
pages promoting your school and its sport or activity programs.
8. Provide any additional information you wish to be considered.
(Brings back the waiver process for smaller schools.
Helps the smaller schools to be more competitive.
Only a small number of schools would be eligible for the waiver.
A committee of the Commission and IHSA staff will develop the waiver application.)
