Sen. Rose Calls for Local Control in Return to Sports Policy

The IHSA last week deferred any future guidance in a return to play policy to the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Governor's office.

 

After student-athletes had returned to practices and workouts under approved guidance, IDPH a few weeks ago quickly reversed course and mandated all student-athletes wear masks which effectively shut down many summer programs. State Senator Chapin Rose says this should another local control issue.

 

 

According to Sen. Rose, the idea of having local communities make policy based on what is best for them is the best course of action. He says as people go back indoors, that has shown to lead to spikes in cases and could lead to changes in education policy.

 

 

The IHSA has not made any further announcements about the status of the fall sports season and remains on track for sports to begin August 1, however, the Governor's office nor IDPH have made any announcements either.
