CHAPEL HILL – The North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) will ask its member schools to vote on a proposal that would allow it to move to more than four classifications.
The decision was made by the NCHSAA Board of Directors on Thursday at its annual meeting.
The information about and request of votes will go out early next year, NCHSAA officials said.
There are currently 418 members schools and at least 306 must vote “yes” for the NCHSAA to move forward and look at a fifth classification.
If it passes and language in the bylaws faces changes, those would come after first being reviewed by NCHSAA lawyers.
Eventually determining the schools headed to Class 5A — and if it would be for all sports or just, for instance, football – would be determined in the next statewide realignment process.
