Brett, there are 5 states that have the multiplier. Illinois has it and it applies to any school with non boundary enrollment which includes public schools. If you read the conclusion to the study done by the Public-Private Study Committee it states that it recongnizes and agrees that inequities exist between member schools, however, not all inequities fall between public and private lines. The numerous factors referenced in their report help distinguish one school from another and provide differing opportunities for school communities to achieve and grow. The Commmittee challenges each school to dedicate its efforts in working to achieve the goals and principles of a healthy interscholastic progam. The report states that the implementation of a weighting/multiplier factor may be perceived to solve an isolated issue, but may lead to additional issues or concerns. Under the Findings section it is stated that there has been schools, both public and private, that have attained and maintained a high level of success in a specific sport/activity.
