MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Alabama High School Athletic Association Central Board of Control approved returning $1.4 million to its member schools under its Revenue Sharing Plan Wednesday at the annual summer meeting in Montgomery. The Legislative Council met in the afternoon.

The Revenue Sharing Plan, approved by the Central Board in 2009, has now returned $5 million to its member schools in four years. The formula for the distribution of funds includes a differential between classifications and the number of sports played by non-football-playing schools. The plan returns excess funds back to the schools when the AHSAA has at least one year’s working capital in reserve.

The 2012-13 payout to schools with football: • Class 6A - $3,934.00 • Class 5A - $3,794.00 • Class 4A - $3,654.00 • Class 3A - $3,514.00 • Class 2A - $3,374.00 • Class 1A - $3,234.00

Payout to schools with no football: • (with at least 5 boys, 5 girls sports) - $1,862.00 •(with less than 5 boys, 5 girls sports) - $1,185.34

Also, for the 21th consecutive year, the Central Board voted to waive membership dues to all member schools – a cost savings of more than $75,000 annually that totals $1,575,000 returned to the schools since 1992.

In addition, the Central Board approved the Super Sectional wrestling format to precede the state tournament. Two Super Sectionals will include the South at Montgomery’s MultiPlex at Cramton Bowl and the North at Birmingham’s Bill Harris Arena.
