• Select “Maintain/View/Print Rosters” 
• Select Maintain Overall Athletic Roster

• You will be able to edit this list through Sunday, June 20, 2021. After that point, any edits must be made using the GE95 form (https://bit.ly/3eHCF3H) which will request that change be made by the KHSAA staff.

Policy Reminder on Data Records of Students Utilizing the SSYP

• All schools must indicate through the online system, which if any students are utilizing the SSYP.
• Each member school shall designate, on or before June 16 (extended to June 20 for data entry), each student that will be using 2021-2022 as part of the SSYP through the KHSAA online roster system.
• These records shall be available solely to the local school individuals with Principal, Designated Representative, Athletic Director, or Superintendent login authority, and shall be considered private records not subject to other public disclosure.
• What students voluntarily release is up to that student, however, no school representative nor the KHSAA is to release any identifying information regarding which students are accepting this option as it is tantamount to releasing academic records.

What if an athlete opts in by May 1, is entered, and then withdraws the request?

• This athlete may be removed by the school through June 20, but after that point, will require the submission of a GE95 form (https://bit.ly/3eHCF3H) as mentioned above.
