The N.C. High School Athletic Association released the initial draft for the 2017 conference realignment.

This draft is an initial proposal and is not final. The draft was put together by the NCHSAA staff, using guidance from a SAS algorithm.

Schools will have a chance to review the proposal and then submit suggestions and appeals to the NCHSAA in writing before the next realignment committee meeting. They will have another chance to voice concerns during meetings in January.

An updated proposal will be released to the public next spring before schools have a second chance to make appeals. Then the NCHSAA Board of Directors will vote on the realignment plan during its early meeting in May.

Once approved, the alignment goes into effect July 1, 2017.
