IHSA Considering Separate Paths For Public/Private Schools In Bracketed Postseason Team Sports

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) is considering making separate paths for public and non-boundaried private schools in the state series for bracketed team sports. According to IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson, the association’s competitive balance committee is recommending a policy change that would place all of the private schools in each classification in their own quadrant of the bracket, which would ensure that only one private school could advance to the state semifinal round. Public and private schools would still compete for the same state championship.

Jude Schwalbach, assistant director of education reform at Reason Foundation, said Illinois law does not require school districts to admit transfer students even if they have extra space available. “We're not talking about adding teachers. We're not talking about adding facilities or new classrooms. We're talking about existing space, so it doesn't cost the school district,” Schwalbach told The Center Square. When asked about the taxpayer impact of K-12 open enrollment policies, Schwalbach said districts could benefit by adding students until schools are at capacity. “Any state funds that follow that student that's transferring to that new school, that's extra cash that the district wouldn't have had otherwise,” Schwalbach said. Schwalbach said Wisconsin allows students to transfer to any public school, as long as space is available in their grade level. “And about
