The Idaho High School Activities Association held their monthly October meeting at the Mountain America Events Center in Idaho Falls earlier this week. After assessing Idaho’s new enrollment figures for the 2026-28 school years earlier this summer, and how enrollment changes might affect teams moving up or down a classification level, schools had the right to petition to move up or down, in all sports or only specific sports.

The IHSAA Board voted on several petitions from all corners of the state. When the dust settled here’s how things stand:
