Changes to sports spectator guidelines
The Jefferson County School
District supports its schools’ extra-
curricular activities. And it is the
policy of the district to bring to
the sports, clubs and other after-
class activities into students’ lives,
and the wish is continue to do this
safely.
To ensure the deliv-
ery of the activities can
continue, the district
this molnth announced
changes to indoor spec-
tator guidance for all
athletic and activity
events held at the
schools.
These changes were
made to address rap-
idly increasing January cases of
Covid-19; and in response
to updated guidelines from the
Oregon Department of Education
and Oregon Health Authority.
The district expects the
changes to be temporary.
These spectator modi-
fications are intended to
further the efforts to pro-
tect the student athletes,
coaches and community.
“By doing this we can
make sure these extra
curriculars are not further dis-
rupted,” said district superintendent
Jay Mathisen. School sports spec-
tator changes include the follow-
ing:
· Reducing capacity. The dis-
trict will begin by reducing capaci-
ties in the facilities and at events.
· Four seats per participant
at most events: For athletic con-
tests between two schools, specta-
tors will be limited to four spots
per participant.
Each athlete, cheerleader, or
coach participating at the event will
be able to invite four spectators.
Names will be checked at the door.
No printed tickets
will be issued and no
walk-ins will be al-
lowed.
Events involving
more than two
schools may have
further capacity limi-
tations. For specific
such events, deci-
sions will be made
prior to the event based on num-
ber of students participating and
size of the venue.
· Limited seating for clubs
and activities: Performing arts
and club activities
with events will fol-
low similar guidelines.
Specific seating ca-
pacity limits will be es-
tablished prior to
events based on num-
ber of students par-
ticipating and size of
the venue.
Spectators agree to comply
with guide-lines. By accepting
the pass and checking-in at the
gate, spectators will agree to and
be required to follow all covid pro-
tocols, including wearing a mask
at all times that covers the mouth
and nose.
The KWSO app makes it easy for you to listen to KWSO
on your phone, and features the daily community calendar and
local news, plus easy connections to language lessons and other
useful information.

Streaming events. Spectators
will be able to watch many athlet-
ics and activities events via the
NFHS streaming service from
home, work or remote location.
The district is covering costs to
ensure this service is free for fami-
lies while capacity is reduced.
The link to watch will be pro-
vided to all families prior to the
implementation of the reduced ca-
pacity limits.
“Our hope is that these tempo-
rary measures will be short livedk,”
Mr. Mathisen said. “We love to
support our teams, clubs and ac-
tivities. Please help us keep them
going by following this guidance.”
