Here we go...

November 6, 2020

Dear JCPS Families:

Jefferson County remains in the “red” category due to the number of COVID-19 cases in our area, meaning there are at least 25 cases per 100,000 people.  This is the highest level of COVID-19 categories determined by the Kentucky Department of Education and the Kentucky Department of Public Health.  State guidance advises district leaders to review the data to make a decision about sports for the upcoming week.  After reviewing this week’s data and guidelines established by the state, the following determinations have been made:

• JCPS football teams will be allowed to compete in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) state playoffs next week, as we have let other teams participate in postseason play. Those games are under the jurisdiction of KHSAA. All teams will follow strict protocols throughout the weeks ahead.  No JCPS district football games will be played this evening or this weekend.  

• All winter sports can practice in small groups.  No game-like simulations can take place during practice.

• A review of the data will take place on Thursday evening and JCPS will make another determination about athletics next Friday morning.

JCPS has an obligation to follow the guidance and direction from state leaders and health officials.  It is our hope that we can resume full practices very soon.  

Sincerely,

Jefferson County Public Schools

So can JCPS football teams practice now? The last sentence says:

"It is our hope that we can resume full practices very soon."

I'm confused by that.

I take it as will start practices next week. If they are going to play they would have to let them practice next week.

Good one but really the only one that probably really matters is private school Trinity.
