The Illinois High School Association met yesterday and again ruled that all high school sports in Illinois remain on pause. Low risk sports may not resume until the state returns to phase 4 in the All Sports policy. With no specific timeline established for the return of sports and the calendar shrinking, the board says putting together the puzzle to allow all sports to return is becoming more likely improbable. The board urged residents to continue to be vigilant as a lower positivity rate remains the key in high school sports returning in Illinois. The next meeting of the board will be January 13.
