Nearly three weeks after the initial release of the UIL's biennial district realignment, the dust has finally settled.
The UIL District Assignment Appeals Committee heard the appeals of seven schools on Tuesday who wished to change their district alignment. After the UIL released its biennial reclassification and realignment on February 1st, all schools were given the opportunity to appeal their district and conference assignments, and seven took them up on it.
This does not include so-called local appeals, wherein the team's current district votes to release them from the district and the team's desired district votes to accept them. For example: Odessa Compass moved from District 4-3A DII to District 3-3A DII because both District 4 and District 3's district executive committees voted to allow the move.
Here are the UIL's District Assignment Appeals Committee ruled on the seven appeals.
