BILL WOULD ALLOW FOR SEPARATE PUBLIC, PRIVATE SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIPS

In Harrisburg yesterday, the House Intergovernmental Affairs and Operations Committee voted 20-6 to send House Bill 41 to the full chamber.

The bill, with bipartisan support, would permit – but not require – the PIAA to conduct separate championship tournaments for public (boundary) schools and private (non-boundary) schools, eliminating a fundamental unfairness that gives a tremendous advantage to private schools.
