WIAA to present amended southeast Wisconsin realignment plan at October Board of Control meeting

After receiving feedback on multiple conference realignment proposals for southeast Wisconsin at this week's Area Meeting in Greenfield, WIAA Associate Director Deb Hauser has notified schools of her intentions to advance a plan to the Board of Control at its upcoming October 9th meeting.

The proposal is part of a continued process to address realignment issues in the Milwaukee area, and a departure from several previously presented options.

Under the plan, most schools currently in the Classic Eight, North Shore, Greater Metro, and Little Ten would be combined into one super-conference of 29 schools. The current Woodland Conference would remain largely intact, with Wauwatosa East and Milwaukee Lutheran moving into the league. As has been discussed at length, Beaver Dam and Watertown would move to the Badger Conference.

Implementation for these changes would be for the 2017-18 school year.

Hauser indicated that the 29-school super-conference would determine divisions amongst themselves, without involvement from the WIAA. "The schools will have the opportunity to structure their divisions as it best suits the needs of the schools involved and provides the ability to alter the groupings as need arises in future years," she wrote in the email to all impacted schools.

At the October meeting, schools can attend to speak for or against the proposal. The Board will have the ability to approve the plan as presented, reject it, or modify it.

The full realignment proposal is outlined below.
