August 6: After yesterday's meeting with the SMAC, I have decided to implement the guidance listed below:

Football: (Due to high risk and physical contact)
    Continue to practice as outlined in previous guidance so athletes and staff will be in a controlled environment
    First Football Game is September 4th, as previously voted on by the GHSA Board of Trustees on July 20, 2020
    Eliminate preseason scrimmage game(s) but continue practice with players in the controlled environment

Cheerleading: (Due to high risk of indoor packed arena(s) which do not allow for social distancing)
    Continue to practice as outlined in previous guidance so practice will be in a controlled environment
    Adjust the competition season to align with the proposed new dates for Region and State Championship    
    Dates will be published when venue(s) are secured to best accommodate the needs of cheerleading
    Tentative first date for competitions would be November 21, 2020
    Tentative State Cheerleading Finals would be February 26-27, 2020

One Act Play: (Due to risk of indoor venues and aerosol spray from projection and singers)
    Tentative move to spring semester, details will be forwarded when Tommy Whittle returns from vacation (Courtesy of GHSA)
