Apollo Conference superintendents put winter basketball season “on hold”

 

[November 13, 2020] 

District superintendents of Apollo Conference member high schools met recently to discuss the status of their high school’s participation in this year’s basketball season.

While superintendents recognize the unique sentiments of our various school communities, they also acknowledge the need for schools to coordinate contest schedules as well as the responsibility of serving in the best interest of their respective districts.

As such, the predominant conclusion among Apollo Conference superintendents is to abide by common legal guidance and engage in practices that are aligned with the ISBE and public health guidance, which now puts the "higher risk" basketball season "on hold.”

Glad to see some athletic activities take place this fall, superintendents look forward to watching our student-athletes participate again when permitted by the IDPH.
