If Hancock keeps growing like it has been they will be on the verge of 7A in the next two cycles.

The mess is going to be that they are required to change schools until the enter a new level. If they are already at the HS they can stay there but if they are entering 9th grade they have to shift. Plus there is a ton of new developments that would have been in St. Martin that will now be in Vancleave.

St Martin is losing close to a hundred students maybe more starting next school year. The county redrew the district lines and are shifting students to Vancleave. Highly likely they both end up in 6A.

Karma on more than one level

There is a bill in the legislature but not sure where it's at right now that calls for a study and numbers to be turned in for possible consolidations through out the state starting in 28 I think it was.

I guess they could but they still aren't receiving money from the state, it would just be a way for a business to send money and get tax credits.

I just read through that entire thing and I must be missing something. That's a tax credit bill that allows a business, industry, etc to donate and claim tax credits to 501 c 3 organizations that provide for under priveleged children.

I haven't heard of anyone complaining about the vote/release. Most the time it doesn't even make it to the school board, the release/paperwork is handled lower, or if it does it's lumped in to a mass vote.

Right now for a student to go from the district they live in to another district they have to be released by the school board of the current school and accepted by the new one. The law they are attempting to pass removes the ability of the current school to hold them and limits the reasons the new one can use to not accept. Again the transfer rules are already selectively enforced. We see it on the coast all the time.

In thinking about this. What does it really matter what rules they put in place when they selectively enforce what they have now. Do we really see that changing?

If you have two 7A moving up, then who is moving down? Both Meridian and Murrah and who is the 3rd?

So then playoffs would stay the same or revert to the old way? If more consolidations hit they aren't going to have much of a choice than to rethink the model.

Social Media chatter is that it's Shorter's job if he wants it.

Pretty sure he didn't mean districts as much as classes. So basically exactly how it was before...

That works great for football not so great for every other sport....

The Senate has passed a lot of the items that were in the bill as separate measures. Including the studies for consolidations and rules for residency. They left out the funding of private so far. I'm sure it will all be brought up again. The MHSAA is likely to stay on the sidelines since they already have a target on their back by several of the legislators.

died in committee yesterday

It shows on the daily report as dead in committee with yesterday's date.

This bill also died in committee yesterday.

Died in senate committee today

Wish their board meetings were public meetings like school boards, city councils, etc.

Highly doubtful based on their social media That’s the one. The way I understood it, he told the QB whisperer that he needed a QB and he connected them.

You mean kinda like the QB for the 7A State champs who was from Louisiana, his dad suddenly had a job and an apartment in the district while his wife still lived and worked in Louisiana? I'd wager a years salary that he either no longer works there or will quit before the end of the school year.

Yes.

They are but what if they can't? It's a different world than when most of us grew up. Then it becomes well if we do it for this kid, why not this one? It's the modern world of athletics and as a state we are way behind on the curve.
