Discussion on Realignment of UHSAA Regions:

Principal Guymon explained the process of the realignment procedure, which happens every two years. The Board of Trustees determines where each school is placed based on the number of students attending. LHS has been in the 4A classification for the last two years, they put us in the 3A classification going forward, but determined us to be a “bubble school” which means we can request to be moved up to 4A or stay in 3A. Ultimately the Board of Trustees makes the final decision.

Principal Guymon asked Council members to split into groups to discuss the pros and cons of each classification. The following arguments were made:

Pros for 3A		Cons for 3A
LHS could be more competitive		Travel costs higher
Perceived equality		Busing costs
Improve morale/school spirit		More students may choose to go elsewhere
Higher student recruitment		Less coach potential
Don't need to purchase new banners
More coach potential

Pros for 4A		Cons for 4A
Competing schools are closer		Too hard to compete with bigger schools
Familiarity with other school students		Impact to non-sports UHSAA
Less missed class time/shorter travel		Depth of athletes participating
More exposure to recruitment opportunities		Less student support with lower win rate (17% win rate in 4A)
Travel costs lower
More coach potential
