ACTIVITIES

The Minnesota State High School League’s Board of Directors, at its meeting on Aug. 4, approved moving forward as scheduled with two Fall activities. Boys and Girls Cross Country and Girls Swimming and Diving will begin on August 17 with limitations. The Board of Directors also approved moving Football and Volleyball to a modified spring season. Extracurriculars and co-curricular activities may also be available in the future per state guidance.

In approving the changes, the Board of Directors used information and frameworks provided by the Return to Participation Task Force in an earlier meeting. These frameworks were grounded in the following guiding principles:

• Demonstrate health and safety to the greatest extent possible

• Align with state organizations and agencies around return to learn models

• Provide an opportunity for education-based participation in each sport and activity

• Demonstrate equity and fairness

• Acknowledge financial implications

• Apply guidelines consistently
