Certainly none of the charter schools are competing much athletically right now, so it would hurt those schools even further. The concern from the committee and those pushing change, though, is about these schools (and the magnet schools and Native American schools) being able to control their enrollment numbers.

Why are public charter schools lumped into this proposal with the private schools?? Charter schools are getting clobbered by other schools already. Do they want our kids to be now be winless in every sport?

ossaa is just as backwards and good ole boy system as the ok legislator. corruption to the core. it is very simple, you are a private school, you already want to be seperate from public schools, so why can’t you have your own class? if private schools had any honor they would stand up and simply demand that they have their own class. playoffs is what matters, so when the playoffs start you play other nonpublic/private schools. simple. a multiplier just creates more problems.

I understand the frustration but there are certain things in this proposal that not only could bring legal action but there’s a chance that action could be successful. They want to be sure that whatever they send out will hold up in court if challenged. In talking with OSSAA executive secretary Ed Sheakley after the proposal was released initially, he said the OSSAA wouldn’t be scared off by the threat of legal action, but it wanted to be sure that if anything was sent to a vote of the membership (because, let’s face it, whatever gets sent out for a vote that will help the public schools is extremely likely to pass), it would hold up to a legal challenge.

It’ll certainly be interesting to see what the board votes to do at the April 13 meeting.

God forbid OSSAA having the wisadom to do what the rest of the country has done – create an even the playing field. They are more worried about legal threats and maintaining the status quo then doing the right thing. If you are entitled and come from an elite private school, OSSAA will go to great lengths to make you happy. Screw the rest of the kids
