CLOC sets enrollment cutoff ranges to be used in 2016-18 alignment
AURORA — The Classification and League Organizing Committee met on Wednesday to work on the state’s alignment for the 2016-18 two-year cycle.
Nothing was set — in fact, it’s not even close to being finalized — but the committee did have a lot of work to do since they have been charged with evenly distributing teams into classifications for next cycle.
And there was one wrinkle that took up much of their time on Wednesday: That they have flexibility to move the cutoff line for a classification up or down five percent in order to balance the number of schools.
Those numbers, and the potential enrollment cutoff splits, are listed below. Schools should be looking to see if they could potentially fall within this cutoff range. The CHSAA office will send out a survey asking schools about their preference for a classification. If they fall within that cutoff zone, that preference will be taken into consideration, though will not always be granted.
Keep in mind that this is only Step 1 of this new CLOC process. Further steps will be explained in detail in the months to come.
Note that football’s numbers are hard-and-fast numbers, and the 5 percent buffer does not apply to its enrollment cutoffs. As a result, those numbers are not included below. They are listed in this story.
2016-18 enrollment cutoffs, and the cutoff zone
Note: These numbers are for the bottom end of a classification. So, in 5A team sports, anything at 1357 (or, potentially, 1425 or 1289) and above is 5A. Anything below that number then falls into the next class (in the example, 4A).
The middle number is the number which was set by CLOC, and approved at Legislative Council in January. Above that is the enrollment cutoff with a 5 percent increase. The bottom number is the enrollment cutoff with a 5 percent decrease.
