This is kinda a topic for another thread but short version:

 

On May 26th Kenton Co Board of Ed chose to combine Summit View Elementary and Summit View Middle school into an "Academy" style school using the "STEAM" Program for grades Pre K - 8. There are alot of details not worked out, but at this time it is unclear as to whether or not Summit View Academy will have extra circular activities or not for 2015-2016.

 

Interest because I was not aware. My son goes to Summit View, did not play last year but has decided to play this year which is why I was curious. I did get emails from coach and team mom yesterday about the upcoming season.

They should have a good team this year.

I am not really sure what they will have to be honest. The new coach got a lot of the athletes to come out.

With only 5 teams in the Large School division, do they just play a random schedule to fill in more games?

Letters went home on May 26th or so I have been told. I did not find out about it till Saturday at SK Graduation.

I knew about the Academy but not about at this time it is unclear as to whether or not Summit View Academy will have extra circular activities or not for 2015-2016.

As far as I know they are and was contacted twice yesterday about the upcoming football season.

So they are going to let 2 basketball courts and a football field waste away?

I was saying I did not know that was even a thought. I would think it would be something the school would have to announce soon, and that options of playing elsewhere would have to be provided. I don't think Kenton Co schools can offer sports and other activities to all of their school except for one.

I may be wrong but I thought Turkey Foot played Tichenor last year for the large school championship.

Tichenor was large school last year after previously competing in the Medium School division. This year, at the request of their school board, they are moving back to the medium school division.

Interesting. Why all the hopping around the last few years?

I agree, are they moving around based on how good they think their team will be? The size of the school didn't change. Realignment I understand but not yearly.

# of kids was the main issue. The first year (maybe 2) they were small school, just starting their program. Then moved to medium division. I know last year when they moved to large school they had close to 70 kids at the Summit View scrimmage.

 

I know numbers are down (they had a big 8th grade class last year) and that the superintendent of Erlanger schools basically told them they were not allowed to compete as "Large School" anymore.

@rjs4470 did Tichenor play a seperate 7th grade team last year in the small school division?

1. Tichenor kept moving up, after winning each division, cant blame them for wanting to play bigger schools.

 

2. The NKYMS league does a lot of weird things and has weird rules, and they always have to adjust the teams and schedules every year. I know last year Holmes did not have an "8th Grade" team compete last year, and Holy Cross did not field a team.

Tichenor did not field a separate 7th grade team last year. As far as the moves, the league actually forced them to move up last year to replace Holmes not having a team. They weren't happy about the move, even though they won the league. From what I understand they pretty much demanded to be moved back down for this season, and wouldn't expect them to ever play in the large school division again.

That makes complete sense then, thank you for clarifying.
