On Wednesday, June 7th, the Idaho High School Activities Association held their most recent meeting.
One of the biggest topics the IHSAA Board explored is reconfiguring Idaho’s six classifications based upon enrollment numbers. The new proposal would create a new 6A classification, while eliminating the two divisions in Class 1A. The measure passed on first reading. Here's what the newly proposed parameters would look like:
CLASSIFICATION
|
ENROLLMENT

Class 6A

Class 5A

Class 4A

Class 3A
|
175 to 349
|
Class 2A
|

Class 1A
