Charter schools and private schools should be in their own division. They recruit players and don’t have the same rules as traditional public schools.
It might be time for traditional schools to go to a 4 hour per day, 4 days per week schedule also, which is the biggest draw for students to attend charter schools.
While everyone complained about parochials @btango said 10 years ago charters were the real issue. Look where we are now. Guess ol Tango was right. Charters will be a bigger issue going forward too.
Oh, parochials and charters have incredibly strong lobbying arms at state legislature which controls NCHSAA.
