(Document Released August 28, 2020) - Key points:
- WPASOA needs to agree that the procedures and safeguards put in place by the State, the Sectional Athletic Councils, and/or the competing schools adequately protect the safety of officials assigned to the game
- Officials need to make their own judgments about personal safety and may not be disciplined for refusing or turning back an assignment when the official has an honest and reasonable belief that he or she cannot ensure his or her personal safety while protecting the safety of the players
