The Kansas State High School Activities Association board on Wednesday approved four spectators per participant at winter sports.
Local school districts may decide to have fewer or no spectators at events.
The rule will be in effect from Jan. 29 until the end of winter activities season, only for the 2020-2021 school year.
The KSHSAA Executive Board voted 46-27 in favor of the rule for four spectators.
The new rule: “Beginning January 29 until the end of winter activities regular season this school year, a maximum of four spectators per participant will be permitted to attend with appropriate social distancing required. Local school districts may choose to have stricter limitations based on seating and local health department guidelines.”
