More on reclassification

GHSA explains reclassification process
The following is a letter from GHSA executive director Ralph Swearngin:

The FTE count shown for each GHSA school was determined in one of three ways:
a) The FTE count for each public school from the Spring 2009 semester is averaged with the FTE count for the Fall 2009 semester.
b) School systems that have recently opened new schools or will open new schools in the first two years of the new reclassification cycle have projected the enrollments of their schools for the next two years.
c) Private schools submitted an actual headcount of their enrollments in September, 2009.

A school administrator who believes the enrollment count for his/her school is inaccurate may send a written statement to the GHSA office explaining why he/she believes there is an error. That written appeal must be received in the GHSA before 4:00pm on November 24, 2009. In the event that a verifiable error is found in the student count, modifications will be made that could change the original placements of schools in classifications. Any such changes will be placed on the GHSA web site as soon as they are made.

A school administrator who desires for his/her school(s) to play at a higher classification than their numbers place them, may exercise that option. The GHSA office must be notified of this decision before Noon on November 25, 2009. This decision must be submitted to the GHSA on the proper form - "Request to Move Up in Classification". This form is found on the GHSA web site - click "Forms" at the top of the home page and then look under "Miscellaneous Forms". A list of schools declaring their intent to play at a higher classification will be kept on the GHSA web site.

The GHSA Reclassification Committee will meet on Wednesday, December 2, 2009, at the GHSA office to place schools in regions. The reclassification Committee will also meet on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, to hear appeals from any school seeking a lateral transfer from the region to which it was assigned.

The entire GHSA Executive Committee will meet on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, at the Holiday Inn in Forsyth, Georgia, to finalize the reclassification of schools for the 2010-2014 cycle. No binding game contracts may be made until after the GHSA Executive Committee has finalized the reclassification process.
