Grand Rapids Public Schools issued the following announcement on Sept. 14.
The following is a statement from Grand Rapids Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Leadriane Roby regarding the decision to resume all fall sports.
“After careful consideration with feedback from students, parents, coaches, and Grand Rapids Board of Education members, I am pleased to announce that all fall sports will resume with strict safety measures in place.
Our student athletes have been practicing voluntarily throughout the summer with safety protocols and health screenings. Golf, tennis, and cross country have already been in competition. In accordance with Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s recent executive order, effective immediately, football, soccer, volleyball, swimming and sideline cheer will also resume.
We are committed to following the guidelines set forth by Governor Whitmer and the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Both home and visiting spectators will be limited to parents and guardians only at this time for all home events. There will be no admission fees nor will concessions be available at this time. We will be sharing all guidelines and expectations for student athletes, coaches, parents, guardians, and the general public.”
