Can anyone or does anyone have a timeline of when things happen as far as new districts and new non-district opponents starts to happen? When is BEDS out? When do the new districts come out? March? April?
 
BEDs should come out pretty soon, usually the reporting date is late October or early November. We probably won't have districts until March.
 
Do you think the state will make up some new rules to address the recent dominance of schools like Grundy Center and SEP? Or, is that issue not a problem anymore?
 
I think Illinois has a deal where if you win two in a row you move up a class. That would be interesting. Although GC won one in each class they would have to win this year to have two in a row. It’s interesting how teams suddenly find success and then Dominate for a bit. Some secret sauce or coaching?

Historically if it is a private school it is about recruiting and unfair advantages, with public schools it is generally ignoring the impact of open enrollment and the actual recruiting that goes on.

Usually the reality is a combination of talented kids working hard and getting good coaching.

Starts at the bottom. Having the HS staff involved at the younger ages helps. Parent support is key. And of course having good athletes helps. Consistency is another key.
 
I am interested to see what effect the voucher system has on parochial school enrollment. I don't think a huge one, but I do know there are a few parochial schools close to moving up a class, will that put them over?
 
You will see some immediate growth. But, it may take some time. There are some high school ages kids making moves. But, I believe the real growth so far has been at the Elementary level, which will take some time to hit the BEDS counts.
But, the vouchers should also help to bring up that free/reduced lunch rate at private schools to offset some growth.
Because the state thought that was the key to parity. As SEP and Grundy go for their fourth and third straight titles.
