a school classification formula we can all get behind.....
Art. 1: The Kansas Equitable Classification Plan (K.E.C.P.)
Economic (40%)
Qualifying Criteria:
Free and Reduced Lunch
Societal (30%)
Qualifying Criteria:
Minority (50%)
Population Draw (25%)
Single Household (25%)
(Human Resources Qualifier)
*potential added 10 points*
Enrollment/Compensation (20%)
Qualifying Criteria:
F.T.E. (50%)
Teacher Compensation (50%)
Performance (10%)
Qualifying Criteria:
Historic Performance
a. Each of four major criteria receives a score based on
qualifying criteria and figure into the final K.E.C.P.
formula proportionally as follows: Economic (40%),
Societal (30%), Enrollment/Compensation (20%), and
Performance (10%).
b. Final ranked K.E.C.P. scores for each High School in
Kansas are to be divided into seven groups denoting 1A
(lowest scores) through 7A (highest scores) classification.
c. Under the K.E.C.P. there will be 2-year status for all
sports and all sports at a school will be in the same
classification.
d. The Human Resources Qualifier may be exercised by a
school as an appeal of the societal portion of their final
K.E.C.P. score if they can show local competition from
schools absent of similar social/economic disadvantage
within the K.E.C.P. formula, for student population,
and/or faculty, and/or staff. This appeal must come
after the tentative classifications are announced and
before the K.E.C.P. deadline for that classification
cycle.
e. In the instance that any classification group has
between its members a school with double the F.T.E.
and final K.E.C.P. score of the lowest ranked school in
that same classification, then the classification group
will be divided in half with separate championships
(i.e. 3A and 3B) without altering numbers in any other
classification group.
f. Any school that wishes to, may petition to move up
to the next higher classification group for competitive
reasons. This move will not trigger the automatic addition of another school into their original classification
group. In order to be approved, a move up will have
to receive a simple majority vote in favor of the move
from schools in the larger classification group
