Football and Spirit Line Update from Dr. Trujillo

The Tucson Unified School District is very happy to share that we have developed a plan that allows our high schools to begin the football and spirit line season with the health and safety of our athletes and coaches as our top priority. Starting Monday, October 26, 2020, we will move to Phase 3 of the Interscholastics Re-entry Plan allowing our teams to begin competition and full contact practices. However in order to participate, our student athletes must meet the following requirements:

1. All players will continue with Remote Instruction during the season in order to limit the number of close contacts should a player be exposed to the virus. Thus they will not participate in the Hybrid Learning option.
2. All players and coaches will be required to adhere to the district's adopted COVID 19 preventative measures as recommended by the Pima County Health Department.
3. All players and coaches are encouraged to take COVID 19 tests frequently throughout the season. Free testing sites are available around Pima County.
4. All parents must sign a waiver releasing the district of any future claims due to their student participating in after school sports activities.
5. All parents must attend a virtual orientation meeting with the school's Athletic Director to review these expectations in more detail.

We look forward to a great football and spirit line season.

Thank you,

Dr. Gabriel Trujillo
Superintendent, Tucson Unified School District

As of Monday, October 26, football and spirit line join the sports in Phase 3. The following sports now follow Phase 3 guidelines:

• Cross Country
• Football

Considerations and Recommendations for Tucson Unified Schools - SY 2020-2021

Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) is providing the following guidance to support our schools and communities in determining their plans and strategies for reopening schools in 2020–2021. Our approach is built upon the guidance and recommendations of the Arizona Department of Education Road Map, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Arizona Department of Public Health, Pima County Health Department, and other research. It is strongly aligned with the reopening guidelines that have been provided by our state and federal leaders. It is designed to help our schools prioritize the health and safety of students and educators as we open school buildings and deliver instruction. Guidance in this report is subject to change given developments and recommendations from federal and state entities. Please visit the websites for the CDC, Arizona Department of Health, and Pima County Health Department for additional updates.
