October 2007 GHSA “Items of Interest” October 2007 Some Changes for Reclassification This Time Around An Executive Director of another state high school association was asked what he was most looking forward to in his retirement and his answer was, “No more reclassifica- tion!” It is just about that time again in Georgia when schools are reclassified and placed in regions, and I understand his sentiments. Reclassification procedures would be less volatile if there were a consensus about the priorities in the process. There is general agreement that schools should compete against schools of “comparable” size. There is less agreement on what “comparable” means. There is strong agreement that travel time and time out of school for athletic events should be minimized, but many educators still view reclassification with the focus on how much chance there is to get to the playoffs. The task is to get the same number of schools of nearly the same size in regions that require little travel. That may be a hopeless task at this point. In order to attack this task, several new wrinkles have been added to the GHSA reclas- sification process. (The schedule for reclassification can be found on Page 2 of this edition.) Here are some of the changes that will be in effect from the fall of 2008 through the spring of 2010: 1. A public school’s FTE count for reclassification will be determined by averaging the spring 2007 count and the fall 2007 count. These numbers are expected to be released in late October. The GHSA member private schools submitted their current FTE counts in early September. If a new school is being built either in 2008 or 2009, the Superintendent in that system has projected the enrollments for the new school and for all existing schools affected by the opening of the new school through the 2009-2010 school year. 2. All schools with an FTE count of 1,850 or more will be placed in Class AAAAA All schools with an FTE count of 525 or less will be placed in Class A. Schools with FTE counts of 526-1849 will be divided equally among Classes AAAA, AAA, and AA. 3. There will be two alignments in class A – one will be for football only, and the other will be for all remaining activities. The rationale for these changes in the reclassification process are: 1. The largest and smallest schools have the greatest disparity in school populations within that classification. Placing hard numbers instead of a fluctuating percentage number will help keep the population difference in check to some degree. 2. A major problem in Class A occurs when regions are made large enough to have a reasonable number of football-playing schools, and then a larger number of non-football playing schools have to be included for all other sports. 3. By the end of the 2008-2010 cycle, it is estimated that there will be 420 member schools. At the beginning of the 2006- 2008 cycle, there were 394 member schools. The population growth is not occurring uniformly across the state. This presents problems with excess travel in order to play schools of comparable size. There will be excitement off the playing fields as well as on those fields for the next few months. – Ralph Swearngin, Executive Director GHSA Dues Must Be Paid By Oct. 15 School administrators are reminded that the deadline for paying GHSA membership dues is October 15th.

  • “Items of Interest”
    GHSA “Items of Interest” October 2008 GHSA Continues to Move Forward Through Technology Transitions are always challenging, and those involving changes in tech- nology seem to be even more so. The Georgia High School Association continues to move its communication procedures from traditional meth- ods to newer methods. While we do not believe we are “on the cutting edge” of technology by any means, we are trying to move forward. There are three areas that I would like to discuss. 1. GHSA WEB SITE: The GHSA web site (www.ghsa.net) is the primary communication tool used by the association. Statistics indicate that an average of 4,000,000 “hits” occur each month. If you and your staffs are not familiar with this site, please take a look at it and utilize its resources. The Constitution and By-laws are available in a ready-reference form. Information about the association (past, present, and future) is available so that school personnel can find answers to their questions. GHSA forms are available for downloading. Educa- tional materials in the areas of sportsmanship and sports medicine are updated with some degree of regularity. If you have difficulty navigating the web site, please let us know so we can provide the assistance you desire. 2. ALL-SCHOOL EMAILS: There are very few, if any, all-school mailings. Information that amplifies the web site information or information that needs immediate attention from school personnel will be sent to the schools’ designated contact persons. Please be certain that the contact person does check emails periodically and that they distribute the information as needed.
