FHSAA Student Population Report


181pl

Recommended Posts


There are 504 teams that currently are not independent.  I think if you cut the classes more will go independent and I'm ok with that but I will use 504 as the number.

 

Put 60 in 1A smallest 60 public schools.  No districts 30 teams in the North and 30 teams in the South.  Seed #1-16 using point system

Put 60 in 2A smallest 60 private schools. No districts 30 teams in the North and 30 teams in the South.  Seed #1-16 using point system

That leaves 96 teams in 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A.  16 districts with 6 teams in each district.  Don't make a district less than 5 or more than 7.  District champ plus top 4 wild cards advance

Badbird,

According to the 2 year breakdown for classifications Class 3A is defined as 291-680 students.  According to the student population report listed:

American Heritage Delray: 865
Tampa Catholic 763:

I have a MAJOR PROBLEM with teams being over the limit by 10% or more. I understand it's not the student population, but the individual athlete, but the rest of the 3A schools are in between 450-575.

I bet they petitioned down.  Not sure but would be my guess.  That's another thing I dislike is allowing teams to move after you put them in a district.  Make it fair do your research and make it final. This is why we end up with 3 team districts because people petition to move out of a district.  I have never seen a team petition to get out of a weak district by the way.

I will say it and say it over and over until I am blue in the face....

THE FHSAA CANNOT HAVE SEPARATE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CLASSIFICATIONS!

The reason is that legislators in Tallahassee have threatened them over the years if they consider this they will shut them down.

Now with that out of the way... let me respond to some of the other thoughts here.

1. They had sunset the rule about moving down... but that came around the same time the last reclassification happened. I feel this will certainly be addressed. Schools should not be asking to move down a classification unless it would create undue hardship due to geography (which is extremely rare like Pensacola Catholic who would have been in the same district a way while back with the Jax schools in 3A and that would have been an issue, but they went to 5A and did pretty well there). 

2. A 5-year average as @gatorman-uf has suggested I think is a very smart way. It forces the schools to not fudge the numbers. However, the public schools can get fined if they are caught doing this and not reporting the same numbers as they are on the FTE, so please do note that. 

3. As for @SPCjessica2004 with her concerns, I totally see the issue. However, we are in the middle of the 4-year cycle where the division lines fell at. So we have to get through the 2018 season and then we will be talking about where things will go with reclassification.

4. The FHSAA could consolidate down to 7 in football and we would be fine with likely the same number of playoff spots likely still in the fold. As for 1A itself as the rural class, the 600 gap is going to have to come off. There are schools that got moved out of 1A and aren't likely coming back in because the numbers are not coming down.. like Newberry... South Walton is totally out of it. 

5. With the growth boom starting to happen again in Florida. A 4-year cycle in my opinion should never happen again. We need to reclassify every two years. I am looking at Osceola County right now and all the schools with the exception of Poinciana should be in 8A right now. I know they are about to build a new high school soon, that could make all the schools at least 7A when the start shifting zones, but looking at different areas, you got areas booming and the numbers have totally changed since the last reclassification which used the 2014 numbers.... so there is that.

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
