DumfriesYMCA Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshallCounty Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trim back the number of teams in 1A, 6A becomes 5A, then add one round to the 2A-4A tournaments called a "Super Regional." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudy14 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julio Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I think Starke County could go to 1 school and still be under 1000 students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachGallogly Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimeqb Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://inview.doe.in.gov/corporations/1011500000/population https://inview.doe.in.gov/corporations/1011600000/population https://inview.doe.in.gov/corporations/1011800000/population Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
