HHSAA institutes “no contact” period for all workouts and practices through Aug. 18

 

The Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) executive board by majority vote approved that effective immediately the high school sport 

calendar shall move into a “no-contact period” through Tuesday, Aug. 18, which means there shall be no instructional or developmental sport specific 

activity allowed between high school coaches and student-athletes.

 

Applicable start date penalties for violations will be enforced according to HHSAA regulations, which include, but are not limited to, the suspension of a 

coach for part or the entire season.

 

Each member league will determine workout restrictions beginning Wednesday, Aug. 19th, at which time, the calendar will move to the “out of season

conditioning and weight training” period.

 

“This is a significant change to our start date calendar as summer activities have been determined by each individual school,” stated Executive Director, 

Chris Chun. “However, during this time, our executive board felt that this change was necessary to protect the health and safety of our student-athletes. 

This will still allow adequate time for conditioning as our first contests for most fall sports are not slated to begin until at least mid-September.”

 

The HHSAA member leagues include the Big Island Interscholastic Federation (BIIF), Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH), Kauai Interscholastic 

Federation (KIF), Maui Interscholastic League (MIL), and the Oahu Interscholastic Association (OIA).

Extracurricular programming to resume Aug. 19 at HIDOE schools

Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE) extracurricular and co-curricular activities are scheduled to begin in person on Aug. 19. All programming will be required to adhere to state and county declarations and follow health and safety protocols in the Department’s Return to Learn plan. The date is subject to change as HIDOE continues to monitor the situation and guidance issued by health and government officials.

The start date aligns with the Department's directive to schools to focus the first two weeks of the new school year on three priorities: assessing student learning needs; testing and adjusting school safety protocols; and conducting employee training and preparing for classroom and virtual instruction.

“We recognize the importance of extracurricular activities when it comes to the overall educational experience of our students. Given the current global health crisis, we are taking steps to ensure the safety of our students and staff while trying to balance a whole-child approach to learning that these programs provide,” Superintendent Dr. Christina Kishimoto said. “We will continue to work closely with medical and health officials to evaluate our processes and procedures as this pandemic evolves.”

Extracurricular and co-curricular activities include, but are not limited to, athletics, band, academic competitions and clubs. Specific examples include:

• Fall sports: football, cheerleading, cross country, air rifle, girls volleyball, and bowling

• Speech and debate team in-person meetings

• Marching band practice

• Drama club rehearsals

• Staff professional development

School Year 2020-21 Models

Individual school models were announced July 8. Schools selected their instructional models and are working on finalizing implementation plans. These include new processes and procedures for ensuring proper social distancing, and supporting students and families with distance-learning models. Implementation plans will be rolled out in the coming weeks.

Each school model adopted must:

• Ensure 180 days of instruction;
  

• Prioritize kindergarten through grade 2 and pre-kindergarten students for face-to-face learning on campus, as applicable;

• Prioritize vulnerable students including, but not limited to, children with disabilities, English learners, and economically disadvantaged students, for face-to-face or online learning, as appropriate, on campus;

• Allow for student support services to be provided;

• Ensure compliance with social distancing and health and sanitation guidelines from state health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and

• Abide by the current collective bargaining agreements between the labor unions and HIDOE.

Elementary Models

• Face-to-Face Learning: All students on campus daily (full-time) for face-to-face instruction.
  
• Blended Rotation: One group of students to be present on campus receiving face-to-face instruction while the other group(s) participates in distance learning.
  
• Hybrid (Face-to-Face and Blended Rotation): Lower elementary and vulnerable students will have face-to-face instruction daily (full-time), while upper elementary students will have a Blended Rotation model.
  
• Middle School Models
  
• Face-to-Face Learning: All students on campus daily (full-time) for face-to-face instruction.
  
• A/B Two-Day Rotation Learning: Face-to-face learning with online instruction that includes synchronous (occurring at the same, assigned times) and asynchronous (online tasks outside of scheduled class times may be completed at different times) learning along with projects and choice boards. Students report to school twice a week. Priority will be given to vulnerable students for daily face-to-face instruction to the greatest extent possible. 
  
• Combination Rotation Learning: This model is similar to the Two-Day Rotation Model. Schools determine the number of days in which students report to campus for face-to-face learning, such as once per week or five days over three weeks, depending on the school context. Priority will be given to vulnerable students for daily face-to-face instruction to the greatest extent possible. 
  
• High School Models
• Face-to-Face Learning: All students on campus daily (full-time) for face-to-face instruction.
• A/B Two-Day Rotation Learning: Blended learning strategies will be implemented to deliver lessons to students, Group A and B. One group of students to be present on campus receiving face-to-face instruction while the other group participates in distance learning, rotating twice a week. Principal will have the flexibility to determine the rotational schedule. Possible rotations include, but are not limited to, alphabetical order, grade level, or academies. Priority will be given to vulnerable students for daily face-to-face instruction to the greatest extent possible. 
  
• Hybrid (Face-to-Face and Blended Rotation): Blended learning strategies will be implemented to deliver lessons for the other students. Group(s) of students to be present on campus receiving face-to-face instruction while the other group(s) participates in distance learning, on a rotational basis. Most vulnerable students on campus daily for face-to-face instruction.
  

The approved school models provide for online and blended distance learning to support social distancing while ensuring academic learning continues in whatever environment students may be provided. All schools are preparing for the possibility of future school closures by increasing device accessibility to students, building teacher capacity for virtual engagement with their students, and course offerings for credits towards graduation. While in-school, face-to-face instruction is preferred, there may be situations in which parents may choose virtual learning only. The Department's E-School stands ready to offer courses for grades 6-12. The Department is in the process of looking at a K-5 virtual solution. Working with their home school, once a parent selects a virtual-only option, the parent commits to this selection for the entire length specified in order to earn the credit or grade.

Prohibition of Jewelry Lifted in High School Track and Field

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                   Contact: Becky Oakes

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (July 14, 2014) — Effective with the 2015 high school track and field season, the prohibition of jewelry will be eliminated. This was one of several rules changes recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Track and Field Rules Committee at its June 16-18 meeting in Indianapolis. The committee’s recommendations were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

Becky Oakes, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Track and Field Rules Committee, said the committee determined that prohibiting jewelry in high school track and field and cross country is not necessary.

“The wearing of jewelry ordinarily presents little risk of injury to either the competitor or opponents,” Oakes said. “Elimination of the rule allows officials to focus on meet administration directly related to actual competition. Coaches continue to have the obligation to see that competitors are properly equipped.”

In other changes, language regarding the time limit to initiate a trial in the throwing and jumping events was revised. Previously, competitors in these events had to initiate a trial and carry it to completion within one minute. Beginning next year, participants must only initiate the trial within the one-minute time limit. Completion of the event will be allowed beyond the prescribed time.

Another change was made in field events involving implements. In events such as the shot put, discus, javelin and pole vault, an additional trial will be allowed when an implement breaks – and thus becomes illegal – during competition due to no fault of the competitor.

The revised note in Rules 6-2-17 and 7-2-17reads as follows: “If a legal implement breaks during an attempt in accordance with the rules, no penalty shall be counted against the competitor and a replacement trial shall be awarded. If the implement breaks upon completion of the trial, a replacement attempt shall not be awarded and the results of the trial shall be recorded, provided it was made in accordance with the rules.”

In the discus throw, it no longer will be a foul if a competitor is out of control when exiting the back half of the circle. Also, in the discus, shot put and javelin, the requirement for the judge to call “mark” was eliminated.

Another change involves the high jump and pole vault events. A new article in Rule 7-2 will state that “a crossbar displaced by a force disassociated with the competitor after he/she is legally and clearly over the crossbar shall not be a fault and is considered a successful attempt.”

In Rule 8 involving special events, the committee approved the 1,500-meter run as an alternate for the 1,600-meter run in the decathlon and pentathlon. Oakes said when using the IAAF standard scoring, the 1,500-meter run is the standard distance. In addition, the indoor weight throw was approved for the listing of special events.

The final change involves Rule 1-4 on indoor track. Since many indoor meets are held in college facilities, the committee approved the 60-meter high hurdles and dash as alternates for the 55-meter high hurdles and dash. Oakes said this option eliminates special marking of the facilities for the hurdles and dash.

Track and field is the second-most popular sport for boys with 580,672 participants in 16,001 schools and is the No. 1 sport for girls with 472,939 participants in 15,962 schools during the 2012-13 season, according to the NFHS Athletics Participation Survey.
