PA: COVID-19, Fall Sports, and Liability Insurance

On Friday, the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) voted, via Zoom, to hold the fall sports season in Pennsylvania.  The next step is that each school district will vote regarding whether to participate.  PIAA has an insurance policy covering all schools, paid out of the schools’ dues to PIAA.  One problem is that the insurance does not cover communicable and viral diseases.  Adding that coverage is cost prohibitive.  This may weigh on schools boards as they wrestle with the decision.  PennLive has the story.
