WIAA names committee to address public/private & competitive balance issues

At April's Annual Meeting, the WIAA member schools voted to send the public/private issue to committee for further study rather than approve the proposed private school Multiplier. What we didn't know was how that committee would be comprised.

Now we do.

Today the WIAA sent a memo to all schools with the names of 21 individuals that will make up the Ad Hoc Committee on competitive balance, WSN has learned. There are 12 members on the committee from public schools, and 9 from private schools. The WIAA divides the state into seven geographic districts, and at least one member is on the committee from each of those districts.

The Ad Hoc Committee will be tasked with reviewing the multitude of issues surrounding the very complex matter and providing recommendations on how to proceed. Per the motion to send to committee, the group has a goal of providing more detailed info by the WIAA Area Meetings in early September, and a deadline of December 1st for a final recommendation. At that time the Board of Control will review and chose to advance to a vote at next April's Annual Meeting.

The Ad Hoc Committee members are below.
