OHSAA Board of
Directors Approves New Divisional Assignments
Revised divisional breakdowns are posted at OHSAA.org after public
school enrollment numbers recalculated
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association board of
directors approved new divisional assignments Thursday based on updated
school enrollment figures that do not include charter school, community
school and STEM school students in the public schools where they
reside. Divisional assignments for the next two-year cycle had
originally been approved in June, but at its meeting last Thursday the
board reversed an earlier decision to include those students in public
school enrollment counts, resulting in recalculation of divisional
dividing lines based on the updated enrollment figures.

are posted on the OHSAA’s football page at:

The passage of Ohio House Bill 487 in July of 2014 now gives charter
school, community school and STEM school students the opportunity to
participate in extracurricular activities at their local public school.
The OHSAA decided to include those students in the enrollment counts of
their local public school. (For districts with multiple high schools,
those students were divided evenly among that districts’ schools.)
However, last week’s action by the board in their first meeting of the
2015-16 school year reversed that decision.
The OHSAA’s six District Athletic Boards are to have fall tournament
information reposted in their respective web sites by September 1. This
includes all tournament sites, managers, contact information and
assigned schools.
The OHSAA is in the process of forming a committee to study the issue
of determining the best way to include charter school, community school
and STEM school students in enrollment counts in the future.
