The proposal will now go into a public comment period after which the State Board of Education can approve or reject the proposal.
Sources also confirmed that classifications will be redrawn every two years instead of every four.

Lincoln, Oak Hill, Weir and Williamstown draws the classification cut lines at 1,050 (Class AAAA), 625 (Class AAA) and 351 (Class AA). The proposal is strictly enrollment based.
