OSAA updates face covering requirements for culminating events
The Oregon School
Activities
Association
(OSAA) received clari-
fication Friday from the
Oregon Health Authority
(OHA) and Oregon De-
partment of Education
(ODE) regarding face
covering
requirements
guidance as it pertains to
outdoor/indoor school
sports and we wanted to
get the information out to
member schools.
Outdoor Sports: Stu-
dents, staff, volunteers
and spectators are not
required to wear face cov-
erings at outdoor sports
events. Until additional
updates are provided, all
previous physical distanc-
ing and capacity restric-
tions still apply.
Indoor Sports: Fully
vaccinated students, staff,
volunteers and specta-
tors are not required to
wear face coverings at
indoor sports events only
when vaccination status
is checked by the school
in a manner described by
OHA in guidance.
Until additional up-
dates are provided, all
previous physical distanc-
ing and capacity restric-
tions still apply.
These provisions are
optional for the venue
operators. School dis-
tricts, charter schools and
private schools may still
choose to require face
coverings at these events.
Guidance from OHA
on entertainment estab-
lishment capacity and
physical distancing is
currently under review
and may be updated in
the coming days.
Per the OHA, “fully
vaccinated” means an
individual has received
both doses of a two-dose
COVID-19 vaccine or
one dose of a single-dose
vaccine and at least 14
days have passed since
the individual’s final dose
of COVID-19 vaccine.
Per the OHA, “proof of
vaccination status” means
documentation provided
by a tribal, federal, state
or local government, or a
health care provider, that
includes an individual’s
name, date of birth, type
of COVID-19 vaccination
given, date or dates given,
depending on whether it
is a one-dose or two-dose
vaccine, and the name/
location of the health care
provider or site where
the vaccine was adminis-
tered.
Documentation may
include, but is not lim-
ited to, COVID-19 vac-
cination record card, or
a copy or digital picture
of the vaccination record
card.
Season 4 Culminating
Week Events
The OSAA Executive
Board met Friday in a
work session to final-
ize decisions on Season
4 Culminating Week
events.
The board spent signif-
icant time discussing Sea-
son 4 options for schools
and culminating events.
As in Seasons 2 and 3,
member schools contin-
ue to face challenges but
many have found success
in local/regional compe-
tition models that seek to
maximize participation
opportunities for all stu-
dents within a program.
The OSAA Board said
it continues to believe
that providing local dis-
cretion for Culminating
Week events allows indi-
vidual schools to focus on
participation and the best
decisions for their school
and community.
Thus, they took action
to return the sixth and
final week of Season 4 to
member schools.
Participation
limita-
tions were increased by
the board to allow for ad-
ditional contests through-
out Season 4.
Basketball receives (4)
additional games; Wres-
tling receives one addi-
tional date, two addi-
tional weigh-ins and five
additional mat appear-
ances.

“When Quality Counts”
MARK BRENNAN/SIUSLAW NEWS
Master of Ceremonies Mike Bones jokes with an
audience member during the recent Rhody Auction
fundrasier.
AUCTION from page 1A the auction.
“Even though we never
met during the 2020
year, we still had finan-
cial responsibilities. So,
this is a fund raiser for
our chapter. We always
have fun at our auctions
and this time we raised
$1966,” said Bones.
Members of the Flor-
ence Garden Club and
other individual plant
growers contributed the
more than 100 plants
which were purchased at
“It is just so nice to
start retuning to normal,”
said one buyer that had
purchased a number of
plants for her garden,
“Everyone here is vacci-
nated and we are all tired
of being cooped-up, I am
just happy to be outside
with my friends, Mike
is really funny and I got
some very good deals.”
