A. Public Comment

There was no public comment.

B. Co-Curricular Committee:

1. COVID and New Sports Guidelines

Mr. Haines reviewed the Guidelines issued by the IHSA for Return to Activities. The guidelines include shortened seasons, the creation of new fourth season (fall, winter, spring, and summer), and the concept of some sort of state series all while following IDPH guidelines.

2. COVID and New IHSA Sports Schedule

Mr. Haines reviewed the IHSA sports schedule. SHS's Fall Season (8/10/20 - 10/24/20) will include Cross County and Golf, Winter (11/16/20 - 2/13/21) includes Basketball, Wrestling, Boys Swimming, Cheerleading, and Dance, Spring (2/15/21 - 5/1/21) includes Football, Soccer, and Volleyball, and Summer (5/3/21 - 6/26/21) includes Baseball, Softball, and Track.

3. COVID and Fall Contact Days

Mr. Haines presented a Seneca High School Hall contact schedule. Contact days will be organized by season so students will not have to practice multiple sports at one time.

4. COVID and Coaches Responsibilities

Mr. Haines reviewed the coach's role to ensure the safety of our students.

5. COVID and Clubs/Organizations

Mr. Haines informed the committee that to date, no decisions have been made about activities such as Speech and Scholastic Bowl. A decision should be made by August 24.

6. COVID and Major School Events

Mr. Haines stated that Seneca High School will attempt to run events as normal as possible, but that some events will be difficult to manage or allow. The school Play, in particular, may need to be postponed or canceled. Fall Homecoming is canceled but organizing a Homecoming at a later date is being discussed.

C. Other: None

D. Adjournment

The meeting adjourned at 6:21 PM
