When a Road Trip Turns Into a Hike

Education Week reports:
Oregon state Superintendent Susan Castillo has asked for more control over high school sports leagues after last fall’s enactment of a realignment plan that is still causing headaches.

At the heart of the controversy is the decision to divide the state’s interscholastic sports teams into six levels of competition, up from the previous four. The shift, intended to improve competitive balance among schools, paired some of the larger schools in leagues with teams that, in some cases, are more than 100 miles away—increasing travel expenses and cutting into class time.
