While our school does No Alixe Callen Acton‐Boxborough very well athletically, it is frustrating to our students that the final teams left in most tournaments tend to be the Catholic schools. 08/26/2011 No No very strongly against #2 Yes Doreen Keller Central Catholic HIgh School 08/26/2011 Yes No No Gail Van Buren Dighton‐Rehoboth Regional High Schoo 08/26/2011 No No Yes Michael Barrett Blue Hills Regional 08/26/2011 No No I represent a small (270) Catholic school in Lawrence. We will never be competitive in No Thomas Ryan Notre Dame High School Lawrence any level above the lowest level available in a public/private tournament‐‐from our school's perspective, the above proposals may only be harmful to our competitive ability.

08/26/2011 Yes Yes For proposal #2 if not a different structure, then maybe different brackets until the Yes William Terranova Cape Cod Regional Technical High School championship game/match/meet. 08/26/2011 No Yes Separate Catholic School Tournaments in revenue generating sports. No Lawrence Murphy West Boylston Middle/High School 08/26/2011 Yes Yes We are one of only a few states in the country that allow public and private schools to Yes Michael Devoll Old Rochester Regional High School compete for the same championships. The playing field is not level 08/26/2011 Yes Yes No William M Schmitt Trivium School 08/26/2011 No No Yes Michael Dudek St. Mary's Jr/Sr High School 08/26/2011 Yes No No George Benzie Mystic Valley Regional Charter School 08/26/2011 Yes Yes Yes Brian S.

The fact that private schools "draw" from a number of communities and create area all star teams is unfair and not equitable. I would hope that the "No Vote" mandate from the principals regarding the football playoff proposal (65% "No Vote" to 35% "Yes Vote") pushes that issue to the "back burner" for some time. I would like the TMC to examine the issue of equity relative to girls ice hockey. It is a violation of the Title IX statute to have the girls' championship games at the T.D. North Boston Garden at 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. every March. The times need to be rotated with the boys' games.

08/30/2011 Yes Yes No Sheila Harrity Worcester Technical High School 08/30/2011 Yes Yes I strongly support the concept of separate public and non‐public school tournament No Denise Lonergan Dover‐Sherborn High School structures. 08/30/2011 Yes Yes Thank you for your consideration. Good to see that these issues are finally being Yes Michael Lucas, Principal Tantasqua Regional High School addressed. It's about time! If we truly want fair competition, the multiplier and seperate state tournaments is the way to go. 08/31/2011 Yes Yes No Patricia C. Fry Plymouth South High School 08/31/2011 Yes Yes No Tara Bennett Uxbridge HS 08/31/2011 No Yes The idea of separate public‐non public tournamnets would create excitement for all Yes Ted Dever Arlington High School student athletes. I do like the idea of bringing the winners to a final four tyoe of tournament at the end. This would give a public and a non public champion as well as an overall champion. 08/31/2011 No Yes No John J. Hughes Hamilton‐Wenham Regional High School 08/31/2011 Yes Yes No Derek Atherton Hopedale Jr‐Sr High 08/31/2011 Yes No No Stephen Imbusch Walpole High School 08/31/2011 Yes Yes These questions are poorly worded. Question #2 lists some examples but is not clear if Yes Ed Rozmiarek (Headmaster); Lowell High School this list is complete or just examples. Does question #2 include,for example, football, Jim DeProfio (Athletic hockey, etc.? In my opinion, we should not "cherry‐pick" the system that we use Director) based on the private schools' impact. We should develop a system and then use it or not use it, but it should be consistent. 08/31/2011 Yes No Schools in far Western MA have smaller enrollments overall. We need to play schools No Kerry Burke Lee Middle and High School within reasonable geographic area. Eliminating competition such as area privates or parochials reduce the number of viable competitors on our game schedules and drive up costs for driving out of region to play 09/01/2011 Yes Yes Yes MIchael Tempesta Milford High School 09/01/2011 Yes Yes No Paul Krueger Medford High School 09/01/2011 No No No Richard Kelley Silver Lake Regional High School 09/01/2011 No No I think the system has worked well for many years for public and private schools alike. Yes Dorothy Lynch Cardinal Spellman High School

09/01/2011 Yes Yes Football? No David Swanton Braintree 09/01/2011 No No I would need further explanation of the necessity of either proposal. The second Yes Paul Moran Austin Prep proposal seems to me to create categories of membership within what is supposed to be a single, united organization. Is the next step to ask all non‐public schools to withdraw?

09/01/2011 Yes Yes No Stefan Czaporowski Smith Academy 09/01/2011 No No No Greg Myers Quaboag Regional Middle‐High School 09/01/2011 Yes Yes No Jared Scarpaci Masconomet Regional HS 09/01/2011 No No We feel that these suggested proposals are more punitive in nature towards Catholic No Mary Lou Sadowski, Principal Archbishop Williams High School, Braintree Schools rather than advantageous. We feel things should remain the same.

09/01/2011 No No I would prefer not to see a divisive structure. If necessary, can we consider a division IA Yes Keith Crowley St. John's Preparatory School tourney for more sports? 09/01/2011 No Yes I would like to see the deadline for submission extended so that more Principals/AD's Yes James Coffey Beverly can discuss this proposal and answer the surveys. I think it's important to get as much data as possible, especially if it determines whether we move forward with it. Thanks
