DISCUSSION

  1. Public-Private school committee report-Dick Conley

Dick reviewed with a handout a comparison of State Championship tournament results from 2002-03 to 2007-2008.  It was the unanimous feeling of District IV that the real uneven paying field exists in the 1-A/2-B/1-B classifications. We feel that something needs to be done at those levels.  We hope the committee will come up with some recommendations to alleviate this problem.
