In accordance with Board of Control action, the state office staff has set district/regional alignments for all sports. You may browse them using the links below. Click on the map icons shown throughout the listings to redraw the map with a geographical overview of the selected group.
Member schools have an opportunity to appeal their school’s placement at the Board of Control meeting on Thursday, November 17, 2016 if they feel they have a legitimate reason for being placed with a different group of schools. Schools must notify Lauren Jones (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) of their intent to appeal no later than November 16 at Noon central time.
Schools must not conduct scheduling meetings until after all appeals are heard at the November 17 Board of Control meeting.
The Board also voted to reevaluate every member school’s enrollment after two years (Fall 2018). Schools that have a 20% decrease or increase from their Fall 2016 enrollment–and the change in enrollment would cause them to move to another class–will be moved to the appropriate class for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.
