TSSAA Football Re-Classification

[sportsguy22]

I’m curious how this process is going to work with everything that is happening. The TSSAA normally uses the enrollment numbers from the beginning of the school year to start the process of re-classifying all schools for the following 4-year cycle (2021-2025). However, many questions abound! Will all schools be in session at that time? Will many enrollments take a deep dive because of homeschooling or parents keeping their kids out for a semester? Does the TSSAA have a backup plan if chaos continues? All these decisions will have significant implications moving forward.

I'll give you a link to start your research.

20% increase or decrease is the magic number for reclassification.

Enjoy.

Wonder if they stick by this schedule? I would highly doubt it at this point. Enrollments and school openings in general are completely up in the air!

Thanks for the link. I was wondering when they announce the classifications for the next cycle

They could always push it back a couple months for the numbers.  Or they could even use the numbers from mid February to reclassify.  It will happen one way or the other.

Or they could just do nothing and say we'll take care of it next year.

Or the year after. That way you dont mess up home and away contracts and schedules. This would just becomes 6 year classification cycle.

or they could base it on what the schools reported last year.  That would be very close to what it would have been this year.

They will reclassify. If they went 3 more years counting this year then you would have schools like Nolensville with 1500 kids playing schools with 800 kids.

I don't see it as an issue! Home schooling is one thing, but parents keeping kids at home but still taking the school's online programs, aren't they still counted in their school's enrollment? To me, a school's enrollment numbers would not change unless the parents declare them "home schooled" and not merely staying home and taking their public school classes at home(if the school systems go that route). Am I missing something?

Isn't it off daily average attendance from the last cycle? It just doesn't go off of one year, right?

It is based off the 20 day attendance that schools report to the state.
