A Resolution urging the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Inc., to adopt separate playoff systems for public schools and private and charter schools.
HR 6 is a non-binding House resolution urging the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) to create separate playoff systems for public schools versus private and charter schools. It addresses a competitive imbalance: private and charter schools (making up ~20% of PA schools) have won 28 of 36 basketball state titles in recent seasons, partly because they can recruit students statewide while public schools are limited to district boundaries. The resolution cites PIAA's own constitutional goals of promoting fairness and educational values in athletics. It does not change PIAA rules but formally requests they adopt separate playoffs to level the competitive field. This applies directly to all PA high schools participating in PIAA sports.
