Board hears concerns as OSAA reclassification proposal would move small private schools up
Summary
Staff reported an OSAA reclassification proposal that would move many small private schools up a classification and noted the creation of a new transfers committee; board members discussed potential impacts on competition and district responses.
Blanche updated the board on an OSAA reclassification proposal and said staff learned the proposal would move many of the smallest private schools up a classification in a draft released the previous day. She told the board OSAA is also addressing transfer-student rules with a new committee; board members discussed whether private schools should compete in their own league but recognized that classification changes appear likely.
The board discussed implications for scheduling, competitive balance, and whether cooperative/collective arrangements would need reexamination after the reclassification; staff said they will monitor OSAA decisions and flagged transfer rules as an item to follow as the committee develops recommendations.
