IHSA Will Not Attend Hearing On Organization

(Bloomington, IL) -- IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman told member schools Monday that the organization will not attend Friday's hearing on the organization. The Elementary and Secondary Education Committee is holding a hearing about the IHSA Friday in Chicago. Hickman says the IHSA will not be able to testify or call witnesses during the hearing. He criticized State Representative Chapa LaVia, saying the process "is like teaching students you can silence your critics by setting up rules that don't let them have a voice."
