The MHSAA would shore hate to miss out on a diabetus special. It’s like the never-ending sweet tooth and a whole new source of sucrose with an endless supply. Watch that be the trade-off to get us to drop a classification or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch that be the trade-off to get us to drop a classification or two. Perhaps if a pool of money from the state goes in with MHSAA getting cut, school booster clubs getting a cut, and athletes getting a cut to stay home and go to school locally perhaps it can work. You can't simply expect small towns with very few businesses to drop a good chunk of money to athletes. Larger towns like Flowood, Hattiesburg, the coastal towns, and Tupelo more so with participants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 Early Alabama School Choice numbers are in: 1) 75% of students qualify for the $7000. 2) 0-100% poverty, 100-200% poverty, 200- 300% poverty all almost evenly split between upper 20% & lower 30%. 3) 61% of white students 25% of black students 14% Hispanic, other races. Most important as I have said certain parents just simply are not going transfer their kids from public to private, failing to improving or better schools. Those kids in Wilkinson County, Holmes County, etc will just not seek to do better especially if its going them sending kids to another out of county school.
