The proposal can be reviewed here: http://www.kshsaa.org/public/pdf/altfallplan.pdf

KSHSAA Executive Board voted unanimously on Monday afternoon to approve an alternative fall schedule for schools who cancel fall activities by a certain date.

The vote will now be sent to a vote for 78 member board of directors on Friday 8/28/20 at 3PM.

Under the proposal, the alternative schedule for schools and classifications that cancel fall sports by a certain date in September will follow this timeline:

Schools that have canceled their fall sports and activities by a certain date would be eligible to continue those sports and activities in the fall.

In her COVID-19 update to the state, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly strongly suggested Kansas schools to make changes to the sports calendar.

“It would probably be a good idea to consider reversing the sports and move spring sports to the fall.”

Gov. Kelly again today urged high school sports to flip the fall and spring seasons to allow high-contact sports more time for a vaccine. #KPZ pic.twitter.com/iG6GmZ1ajB

Also in the meeting KSHSAA clarified that they do not recognize COVID-19 as a “hardship” due to it affecting everyone universally.

Under this should a student-athlete transfer to another school due citing COVID-19 as a hardship, that student-athlete would still lose that eligibility.
