(Undated) – Following a recent ruling, schools “on probation” for violation of the state’s mask mandate will not be able to participate in State Series. IHSA Executive Director, Craig Anderson, says IHSA schools will not be allowed to participate in the State Series for a sport if they remain on ISBE’s probation for non-compliance with the state mask mandate on the date of seeding. Additionally, the IHSA staff has been directed to set appropriate timelines based on the schedule for each fall sport to begin relieving schools of their State Series hosting responsibilities if they are currently on ISBE probation due to non-compliance with the state mask mandate.
