MESSAGE FROM THE MISSOURI STATE HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION REGARDING SUMMER BY-LAWS
MSHSAA Board Approves Changes to Summer By-Laws
Decision opens door for possibilities to summer time contests
Columbia, Mo.- The Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) Board of Directors voted to grant relief of
portions of the MSHSAA By-Laws that include summer limits on contact between coaches and student-athletes, at its April
meeting on Thursday, April 16th.
Dependent upon approval from local and state health officials, the MSHSAA Board voted to make the summertime dead
period and the summer limits on contact optional for the summer of 2020. MSHSAA By-Law 1.5 requires member schools to
establish a period of nine consecutive days beginning on a Saturday and lasting to the second following Sunday, in which no
contact takes place between school coaches/directors of MSHSAA-sponsored activities and students enrolled in the member
school, or who will be enrolled in the member school during the next school year. With Thursday’s decision, a school may
choose to comply with this “dead period” or to allow teams to hold activities. This decision also relieves portions of By-Law
3.15.3 and 3.15.4, which limits teams to 20 days of contact during the summer. Member schools may allow teams to have
more than 20 days of contact in which any coaching or instruction in the skills and techniques of any sport takes place.
“The abrupt changes that took place to our normal system of education this spring, have our schools pleading for access to
students this summer,” said MSHSAA Executive Director Dr. Kerwin Urhahn. “The membership asked about what possible
flexibility and modifications to by-law restrictions that could be offered. If there is no local, state, or national clearance for
safe contact with students, then any allowances dealing with summer will be moot. But, in an effort to be prepared for what
we hope is possible, this action was taken to grant some relief for the member schools.”
In other action, the Board of Directors voted to allow seniors to be viewed as enrolled students through the summer, which
allows them to represent their high schools in summertime interscholastic competition. This relief of By-Law 3.15 is designed
for this summer only.
“Hopefully, this will allow schools to play contests against other schools to provide closure and recognition for students and
allow teams and kids to play together this summer,” said Urhahn.
At this point, no action was taken to alter any other sections of By-Law 3.15, or the fall no contact period (3.15.1.b) that is
scheduled to take place between August 3, 2020 and August 9, 2020. All summertime activities remain optional for students,
attendance or participation could not be required.
“The first thing that needs to be clearly understood is that all decisions about anything summer-related – be it contact,
access, practice, games, conditioning, etc. - must first be approved, cleared and deemed safe by the CDC, State and Local
Health Departments, the Governor, and local Mayors” Urhahn concluded. “The end of social distancing and ‘safe at home’ is
still not clearly visible yet, and summer activities may not be possible due to the covid-19 pandemic and its own timeline.”

From Mr. Lankford:
Good morning,
I wanted to make you aware of a couple of things that may interest you. The first is there will be a virtual college fair held April 20-23. If you attend you will need to sign up for each session you are interested in. This is a national fair so several sessions may not be of interest to you. There are several that are Missouri and/or midwest specific and several that discuss topics like admissions, money, choosing a college that fits, etc. If you have questions about the college admissions process I encourage you to attend it. The link for this fair is : https://www.strivescan.com/virtual/
The second item is, ACT is in the process of making the test more convenient to take. They are offering more summer dates and are working on the ability for you to take the test remotely at home. This function will not be available until sometime in late fall/early winter 2020. I have attached a press release to google classroom from ACT explaining these changes.
Please reach out to me if you need something. Miss you all!
