@derekjoiner You are correct! I haven’t looked, in depth, on how other states do it, but would be a great conversation to have.

@CUlsaker I’m not an educator. With block scheduling, 5 days a week at 2pm would still be two different classes? Or just 2pm on Wednesday’s?

Add athletic periods during the school day! Problem solved. Start practice at 2 instead of roughly 3:30.

@derekjoiner Block schedules would just be 1 class. Would count as an elective class. Not sure what you would do if you do 7 class periods! Something to iron out.

@CUlsaker 2pm would cut out two class periods? What are the non-athletes doing?

‼️🏛️ KANSAS SB 515 📜‼️ Important issue taking place at the State Capitol right now regarding Kansas high school athletics. What began as a bill to allow homeschool/non-accredited private school students the ability to participate in KSHSAA-approved private school activities was amended by Senate Majority Leader, Chase Blasi, to also include a "moratorium on interscholastic contests, activities and practices". This would DISALLOW any "interscholastic activities or practices and no staff members present for any such activities or practices, regardless of whether such activities or practices take place on or off the school premises" for ALL of the following dates: 🗓️ EVERY Sunday 🗓️ Wednesday evenings from 6:00 pm - 11:59 pm between September 1st and April 30th 🗓️ A five-day period that includes Christmas, a four-day period ending on Easter, and a seven-day period that includes July 4th The original bill was introduced, amended, and passed in the Senate within a month and now heads to the House. 👉Anyone interested in or considering voicing their opinion on this potential shakeup in the activities/athletics calendar should contact their district constituents as this amendment is NOT a KSHSAA submission.
