NCHSAA making progress towards adding 5A Classification

Chapel Hill- The NCHSAA Board of Directors held their winter meeting Thursday and discussed many things including the beginning stages of the next realignment in 2021-22.

A vote of all member schools is expected to be made in January 2020 or at least by the end of the spring semester for a proposal to add a 5A classification.

"The Board of Directors worked hard over the course of this meeting to discuss pressing issues within the Association," said NCHSAA commissioner Que Tucker. "They accomplished the critical task of defining the next steps in the realignment process while also dealing with pertinent agenda items to improve the experience, inclusion, and health and safety of student-athletes."

Other agenda items in the winter 2019 meeting included approval of 2020-2021 sports calendar, approving a joint venture between the NCHSAA and Special Olympics of North Carolina, changes to the men's golf state championship qualifications, approving an addition of a monetary fine for failing to provide appropriate athletic event medical care requirements, and adoption to require a game day administrator for all 7-on-7 preseason football scrimmages.
