Remember the cutoff will be reestablished this year. It may slide up a little.
4.1.0 DATES FOR CLASSIFICATION OF HIGH SCHOOLS - All high schools with 26 or more students are to be classified according to enrollment in grades 9-11. (Schools new to the Association will take the average of their estimated enrollment for their first two years.)
4.1.1 The P-223 enrollment figures as sent to the Office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction will be used for classification purposes.
4.1.2 A school’s classification is determined by the average monthly enrollment from January 1 through May 1, October 1 and twice the November 1 count of odd-numbered years and will be the basis for classification for the next four years.
4.1.3 The responsibility for investigating enrollment figures lies with the WIAA Executive Board and this may be invoked by any member school with the support of four (4) other member schools.
4.2.0 HIGH SCHOOL CLASSIFICATIONS - High schools shall be classified as “4A”, “3A”, “2A”, “1A”, “2B” and "1B". Every four (4) years the enrollment parameters for each classification shall be adjusted to promote more equitable distribution in the number of schools. "4A", "3A", "2A", "1A", 17% of the total schools based on 9-11 enrollment from the top down (largest to smallest). The parameters for distribution for the "2B" and "1B" classification shall be 16% of the remaining schools per classification.
4.2.1 In four-year high schools (grades 9-10-11-12), any students who are repeating the 11th grade shall be deducted from the school's 9-11 WIAA enrollment figures for that year.
4.2.2 School districts with a single high school and a separate, approved alternative school(s), as reported on district P-223 enrollment forms, must assign their students for WIAA Classification Head-count purposes to the high school in which the students would normally be enrolled provided that the alternative school(s) is not a separate member of the WIAA with a demonstrated two year history of participation in the same number of WIAA sanctioned activities as other WIAA member schools of the same enrollment.
4.2.3 Students must be counted in their school of residence unless they are enrolled in a separately established member school. Member schools in this situation must attempt to gain league affiliation and demonstrate a two (2) year history of participation in the number of WIAA sanctioned activities comparable to other WIAA member schools of the same enrollment.
4.1.4 During the second year of the four year cycle, a school may appeal its determined classification. An
appeal would be based on, but not limited to, circumstances involving significant change in enrollment during the first two years, history of declining enrollment, opening of a new school within the school district, or unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of the school. To appeal, a school must submit appeal paperwork to its current and - if applicable - new league, as well as its WIAA District Board.
Appeals must follow WIAA handbook rule 4.9.1.
