I don’t see how the proposed move would help any of our students or athletes. The claim that this would improve the football program’s success seems incredibly unlikely given the division we would enter, and does not, to me, justify the disruption this would create for students, as well as the community perception of the school.

From everything I have heard from current students and concerned parents is that the Academy is quickly becoming a private school, at least in mindset. As an alum myself, I know that this would be disasterous. This move is just another step in that direction. It must be stopped. I hope the BOT is listening.

Please find a way to make sports accessible to ALL students. Team tryouts are already flooded with eager athletes that don't make the cut or see minimal field time. Prep student recruitment will add an additional layer of competition and further eliminate growth opportunities afforded thru participation in competitive sports for local student athletes.

Of the two options presented, CIAC is the better choice for many reasons. I am open to other options in the future but only if they are thoroughly evaluated by a Committee that includes constituents from the Woodstock Academy community. We don't need to rush into a decision to change our athletic organization. We can make CIAC work with some minor adjustments.

Please stay in the CIAC, you MUDT keep gymnastics, cheerleading and unified sports teams. Keep the local students playing teams locally with shorter commuting times and a bigger fan base which is so important for high school athletes.

Woodstock Academy is the only public high school accessible to Woodstock and most of its sending towns - sports should be made accessible to public school students, and this accessibility will be undermined by moving to NEPSAC

Moving from the CIAC will do nothing positive for the kids @ WA, don’t leave just to chase $$$.........
