DOE Enrollments 22-23

[DumfriesYMCA]

I think Brebeuf is staying in 4A?

in 2021 they were 3A with like 830 kids and were moving up regardless I believe?

Unless they had a bigger class at the time and are back under 800 or whatever the new 4A/3A line will be

You are correct.  Brebeuf moved up via enrollment following a visit to LOS.

Are there new enrollments from the DOE out yet? Or any updates from these?

[MarshallCounty]

Don't they wait until the February Count date.

Indiana Chamber of Commerce is bringing up interesting legislation again - how would this affect high school sports in general?

Most of 1A and a lot of 2A schools would change or be removed. Probably say around 40ish football programs would be lost/combined. May need to look at going back to 5 classes.

We should be at 5 classes anyway.

Trim back the number of teams in 1A, 6A becomes 5A, then add one round to the 2A-4A tournaments called a "Super Regional."

5 Class conversation aside, I see the consolidation of small schools as an L for Indiana athletics, a lot of small schools have big traditions and history.  Traditions and history would be erased by the stroke of a pen.

I think Starke County could go to 1 school and still be under 1000 students.

Absolutely NOT, reason, why should CARMEL lets say or even Crown Point one with 5k students other with 3k students be in a same classfication with schools that won't even be close to 2k students in their buildings. 

I was in those IFCA board meetings when this was all brought out and at the time, MUNSTER with like 1800 kids was playing in 5a football with schools that had 3k and that was just in their area, then you expect them to go down to compete with INDY area Mega Schools with 4-5 thousand kids when they had 1800??   The discrepancy from top to bottom is astounding with amount of bodies available.

Out of curiosity is there schools corps that cross county lines? 
who would starke combine to get to 2k?

The consolidation of districts doesn’t require the consolidation of schools.  In many cases it wouldn’t make sense.  Or districts combined with three HS might turn into two HS etc.

Turkey Run and Rockville consolidated at least 10 years before merging into one school. The Parke Heritage Woofs

I know schools like Sheridan have absolutely no interest in this terrible idea. We have ZERO desire to consolidate with Hamilton Heights, and even less desire to be absorbed into Westfield. 

Indiana Chamber of Commerce needs to find something else to talk about. 

[BendNotBreak]

Hamilton Heights and Westfield may not be a good fit for Sheridan... but at least they aren't.. ..."Them People"...  I gotta go....

[oldtimeqb]

Until Indiana crosses the 320 mark, I think 32-64-64-64-64-32 just makes so much sense. 

Now that Scottsburg and Silver Creek are back, would there be any schools added that weren’t at the lower end of enrollments? 

Maybe if TH split into a North-South-East system. Are there any other places around the state where an HSE-Fishers type split would occur?

I agree with that split in classes.

I agree it is not good legislation, but it will likely be on the table this year, be ready to make noise for small schools.

Absolutely no trash talking has occurred, yet Lutheran fans choose to do it. Can't wait for you people to be out of 1A. 

[Daniel_Bragg]

That makes sense.

Sorry about that.  I let my emotions get the best of me on what I knew was going to be a stressful evening.

Consolidate with the Clinton Central School Corporation (819 K-12 per IDOE).  Build a new school complex in Terhune or Kirklin.  

Actually if the Indiana legislature gets tough again about school consolidation I can see see Clinton county going from 4 school corps to 2,  with a Clinton Central/Clinton Prairie/Rossville 3-for-1 dealio a possibility.
