Raleigh, N.C. One week after House Bill 91 was proposed in the Senate Committee on Education, representatives from the N.C. High School Athletic Association and state senators may sit down to discuss the concerns that led to proposed legislation that would dissolve the association.
Sen. Vickie Sawyer (R-Iredell) told HighSchoolOT she sent an official invitation to the NCHSAA last week, asking the association to meet with state senators to discuss concerns about the association. Sawyer said the NCHSAA acknowledged receipt of the invitation, but as of Monday afternoon, the association had not yet accepted it.

Chapel Hill, N.C. The N.C. High School Athletic Association Board of Directors and the State Board of Education have made an allowance to student-athletes regarding academic eligibility for the spring semester.
NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker notified member schools on Friday morning that the board of directors passed an amendment to its academic eligibility rules regarding state-mandated End of Course tests. As a result of students being given the option to delay taking the End of Course tests until Spring 2021, or even as late as Summer 2021, the State Board of Education is allowing the NCHSAA to adopt and implement a reasonable waiver, Tucker wrote to the membership.
