CHAPEL HILL – The N.C. High School Athletic Association Board of Directors concluded its winter meeting Thursday with several policy changes.

Of note, the board approved a request for the drafting of a ballot for a membership vote on an amendment to Bylaw IV of the Articles and Bylaws that governs classification. Full language of the proposal will be drafted and approved by the board prior to a membership vote during the spring semester.

“The Board of Directors worked hard over the course of this meeting to discuss pressing issues within the Association,” NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker said. “They accomplished the critical task of defining next steps in the realignment process while also dealing with pertinent agenda items to improve the experience, inclusion, and health and safety of student athletes.”

Other agenda items included:

* Approval of the Sports Calendar for 2020-2021

* Approval a joint venture between the NCHSAA and Special Olympics of North Carolina to add a part-time coordinator position for Unified Track programs

* Changes to the boys’ golf state tournament qualification method

* Approval of an addition of a monetary fine for failing to provide appropriate Athletic Event Medical Care Requirement(s).

* Adoption of a regulation to require a game day administrator be designated for all 7-on-7 events.
