Committee pushes consistent junior-high start times, adds weather/discretion language
Summary
Chair Chance Mays urged consistent start times for junior-high football and the committee agreed to add mutual-agreement language to rules allowing schools to change times if inclement weather is likely; officials shortages and Thursday games were also discussed.
Superintendent Chance Mays told the committee that setting a consistent start time for junior-high football would help parents and reduce confusion. "It helps your parents out," he said, urging a standard time and noting exceptions could be handled case-by-case.
Members also discussed adding a bullet to rules stating that if inclement weather looks likely, schools may mutually agree to change start times, provided the district is notified. Officials availability was raised as a separate operational concern—members described recent difficulty staffing crews and noted that Thursday-night games increase the burden on official assignments. The committee instructed staff to include mutual-discretion language in the written rules it will circulate.
