I was thinking they have 2 different districts in Attala County. But if all 3 then all 3 that will be Attala County and Kosciusko City merging. That makes sence.

With Leake County merging the high schools we will eventually have to change the makeup of division of classes. This drops us to 43 schools in 1A and 33 football schools. The new make up will be: 7A 24 Recommend is 16/20 6A Next 24 5A Next 24 4A 40 3A 40 2 non-football (New Site/OLA) 2A 40 1A 47/51 10 non-football Otherwise 1A will be left with 43 and only 33 football. Obviously we will loose the following in near time as Leflore County is also building a new school for 4A Greenwood, 3A Amanda Elzy, and 1A Leflore County. Then we drop to 42 and 32. Rumor is Attala County may consolidate and we drop to 41 and 31. Now we are down below 4 Regions x 8 schools.

Normally the principal makes the recommendation. In this case it should be the assistant principal and maybe the chairman of the committee or both. Now if you wait til July 2st and a new principal is in place then he or she can recommend.

Consolidate 8 to 15 counties in to others. DROP from 82 down to 70ish will help too. Alabama has like 67.

I agree that 4 regions was enough even if we send 6 to 8 per region to the playoffs.

How many 1A/2A schools do we need to lose due to consolidation in order to return to 6 classes? Its going look weird having 40 schools in 1A and 27 football schools as an example divided into 8 regions with 2 or 3 school regions especially in NE Mississippi.

Will Hathorne step aside and let assistant principal and teachers interview potential coaches or will he medal in it is the million dollar question right now.

If politics gets in the middle of hiring a coach then your not going get top notch coaches to come to any school.

So Leake Central will be 5A and most likely play in Region 2. Thus either Provine or Vicksburg to Region 3. Then Sumrall drops to 4A.

Yes the plan was presented to MHSAA yesterday. As to whether they will play 4A in 2026 and then reclassify to 5A in 2027 or play independent. All of Leake County opponents will be looking for an opponent or have an open date in 2026.

MHSAA executive director says it may go to a vote of the people. If it passes either way public funding of private schools will be in full force.

1 Reclassification will remain at 2 year intervals. 2 Leake County is consolidating beginning this fall. 3 No on joining Alabama and Louisiana Reclassification Cycle. 4 Executive board discussion will be known on Monday.

Majority of the board is up north to some degree.

Too much baggage in the bill that should be separated. No public school funds to private schools or home schools that have not been vetted.

War of words from speaker of the House and Lt Governor. SOH: It will be revived because there some leaders in the house that wants it passed. They could have added amendments and we could have went into discussion. Lt Gov: There are more important things to discuss and pass. It only passed by 2 votes. SOH: Looked like he was about to cry leading me to believe we will see this bill again. Made it clear a special will be called by the Governor. It makes me believe it was an attempt to grow the student population at MAIS schools with public dollars.

Is it Homer Morgan?

All of Leake County Opponents will be open or looking for an opponent

NC is further West and WL is slightly further North, maybe keep the Lauderdale schools together and just reproduction my Region 4 again with both. Yazoo City will have to come South with that thought.

If Leake County completes Consolidation they will be Region 2-5A. Vicksburg or Provine will drop to Region 3-5A. That will drop Sumrall to Region 7-4A. Lawrence County will slide to Region 6-4A. Either Mendenhall or Richland will move to Region 5. Then one of 3 Newton County, West Lauderdale, or NE Lauderdale will move north to Region 4-4A.

Leake County School District is also according to their website site looking for new private or patriarchal schools opened in the county. That is unusual.

Will they gave to play independent in 26 or remain 4A for 1 year and reclassification as 5A in 27.

Velma Jackson looking for week 4 opponent vs Leake County. Had Leake Central week 5.

This bill passed a sub committee on February 3.

This bill hasn't been listed for a week. I am beginning to think the hope was for HB2 to pass.
