This document at the link above provides regulatory information as well as guidance for KHSAA member schools. All allowances in this document will not exceed the allowances permitted by the Department of Health through confirmation with the Governor’s office, and any regulatory declarations from the Kentucky Department of Education.
All of these allowances and restrictions are directly resultant from the Covid-19 pandemic, are outside of KHSAA Bylaw 23, the limitation of seasons, and are not covered under the normal school year KHSAA Catastrophic Insurance Policy, a policy that has never traditionally covered out of season activity.
All local implementation plans must be approved by the local health department, however, the local health department may not make any of these provisions more lenient or permissive than these guidelines.
Where there are perceived or real differences between this document and any other document being reviewed, this document shall govern.
