Bakersfield School District COVID-19 Statement
The district will make every effort to provide our student-athletes with the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities for the upcoming school year.
The benefits of a public based education program with activities are numerous and the pandemic has resulted in thousands of students missing out on many life-shaping experiences.
Students and their families, along with school personnel, must recognize inherent risks involved in activities and work to implement best practices to help mitigate these risks.
The district and MSHSAA are recommending student-athletes wear a mask or face covering during the normal school day and while being transported on a bus. NOTE: this is a recommendation only.
In the event a student-athlete does test positive, it must be reported to the Superintendent, Principal or Athletic Director in a timely manner. The school district will remain in contact with the local health department and MSHSAA to implement all the proper protocols.
If the positive test is reported as quickly as possible this will allow the student to quarantine and then return to play after the required MSHSAA COVID-19 Return to Play Form has been completed by a Physician.
A delay in reporting to the school district could result in possible entire team quarantine or a cancellation of games and/or the entire season.
Every sport and school district, along with activities, are different. Certain practices and strategies may be feasible for one sport or district, but not another.
The district will continue to work closely with the local health department, and our families, for a productive and healthy school year.
GO LIONS!!!
