Subject:
10.2. Athetic Director Report and Proposal for handling Admission to Fall Athletic Events
Description:
Due to the uncertainty of athletic contests occuring during the cornonavirus pandemic and thereby avoiding request(s) for reimbursement, the School Administration recomends NOT selling Season Activity Passes in 2020-2021.
Furthermore, at least some schools are waiving single game admission to a limited number of spectators as permitted by MN Dept. of Health Guidelines.  The School Administration is recomending NOT selling single game admission.  Admission would be free for a limited number of spectators. For example, because Volleyball is an in-door venue and therefore has a limit on the number of spectators, the spectors would pretty much be just parents of players.
