I'm surprised that this did not come up sooner. Some politician from downstate has this up for consideration to separate the state tournaments between public and private. A number of states still do this, Texas for example. An alternative approach toward "leveling the playing field" is to apply a multiplication factor to a school's enrollment for purposes of tournament classification. For example , a private school with 600 students might be assigned a factor of 1.5 with an assumed enrollment of 900 for tournament classification purposes. Some states also do the calculation for public schools with "open enrollment". Will this work in a tiny state with less than 50 secondary schools? I doubt it. I don't know what is driving the pol's reasoning but it won't work in the First State.
