“COVID-19 safety guidelines will be followed, to include recommendation of social distancing and face coverings, with families, friends and fans encouraged to support the students and district efforts to promote safety,” Thomas said. “Schools are starting with 30% capacity and look forward to a time when event capacity can be increased.”
