(Note: "number of students" would be either "male" or "female") (e.g. Private/Catholic schools 1.3 x number of students; Tech/Voc Schools 0.3 x number of students; Co- operative - for guest school(s) 0.5 x number of students; City Public Schools 0.7 x number of students; Public schools 1 x number of students) Response Response Percent Count Yes 72.4% 123 No 27.6% 47 answered question 170 skipped question 0 2. Would you like to see the TMC study the concept of separate public and non-public school tournament structures?

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 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. 08/26/2011 No Yes Yes Mike Lovecchio Pembroke HS 08/26/2011 No No No Jane Day Mashpee High School 08/26/2011 No Yes No Tom Gwin Winchester High 08/26/2011 Yes Yes Yes Luis Macedo Hudson High school 08/26/2011 Yes No My AD has suggested that there be an Elite Division for Super 8 type playoffs.

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.

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.
