‼️🏛️ KANSAS SB 515 📜‼️
Important issue taking place at the State Capitol right now regarding Kansas high school athletics.
What began as a bill to allow homeschool/non-accredited private school students the ability to participate in KSHSAA-approved private school activities was amended by Senate Majority Leader, Chase Blasi, to also include a "moratorium on interscholastic contests, activities and practices".
This would DISALLOW any "interscholastic activities or practices and no staff members present for any such activities or practices, regardless of whether such activities or practices take place on or off the school premises" for ALL of the following dates:
🗓️ EVERY Sunday
🗓️ Wednesday evenings from 6:00 pm - 11:59 pm between September 1st and April 30th
🗓️ A five-day period that includes Christmas, a four-day period ending on Easter, and a seven-day period that includes July 4th
The original bill was introduced, amended, and passed in the Senate within a month and now heads to the House.
👉Anyone interested in or considering voicing their opinion on this potential shakeup in the activities/athletics calendar should contact their district constituents as this amendment is NOT a KSHSAA submission.
