EXCERPT: 40% of California's tax revenue comes from earners in the top 1%.
The population of California posted a decline of tens of thousands in 2023. Among them are some of the wealthiest Californians, who account for a sizable portion of the state's tax base.
California used to be the ‘heartbeat’ of America, now it's only a ‘murmur’...

Weird, and, AFAIK, something no other state does, it is not 100% based on enrollment. They are using this complex format where enrollment is 80% of the measure. 10% is "economics" meaning poorer communities get a "discount" on their enrollment. For example (with 1.0 being perfect) Huntington High gets 0.26 in "economics" while Cabell Midland gets a 0.39 and Spring Valley gets a 0,42, while places in Morganhole and the eastern panhandle get up in the 0.9s. As does St. Joe's and all the other Catholic schools. 10% is based on "location", which, AFAIK, is a measure of how compact the district is (so kids can stay after school for practice and get home easily), how many private facilities like gyms and such are in the community, and, pretty much, how close the town is to a four lane road. HHS gets a 0.94, CMHS gets 0.77 and SVHS gets a 0.92, while places out in the country get things as low as 0.2.
They are going to four classes in basketball, football, cheer (WETF that is) , volleyball, baseball and softball.

My comments:
- So a kid from a poor community counts as less of a kid than a kid from a more successful community? A kid at HHS or Capital counts less than a kid at CMHS or South Charleston or Nitro or Hurricane. Do what? That is condescending, and somewhat racist. If you have 1000 kids in the school, you have a 1000 kids in the school.
- The geography part is confusing and hard to understand. Suburban compact communities get punished for being suburban compact communities. Cities with public buses get punished for being cities with buses. Rural counties where the kids have to figure it out to get to practice are rewarded.
- Four classes? That is between 28 and 32 schools per class. With 16 making the (football) playoffs. Really? Being the best of 28 schools is a "state champion"?
Fourth class added to five WVSSAC sports starting in the 2024-2025 academic year - WV MetroNews
Football will expand to four classes next season, following final approval from the WVSSAC Board of Directors.
