Argonia Caldwell Cedar Vale Central-Burden Dexter Elk Valley Flinthills Oxford Sedan South Haven Udall West Elk
With the goal of maintaining in-person instruction (keeping kids in the school buildings) and allowing kids to participate in the winter season of school activities, the following policy was adopted by the League on November 13, 2020.
The South Central Border League will continue events involving league schools through December 19th with PARTICIPANTS ONLY. Events will be live-streamed for spectators. The league strongly encourages that these protections be implemented with non-league schools. The league will meet at the end of December to re-evaluate the policy for January.
For the purpose of this policy, parents/legal guardians will be considered participants for attendance as long as all policies are followed, including the requirement to wear a mask properly at all times. No food or drinks will be allowed in the facility. Concession stands will not be open.
PLEASE READ the Attached Parent Letter for additional information.
