The Alaska School Activities Association is announcing the cancelation of the 2020 State Basketball and Cheer Championships. This decision is based on the following:
• On Wednesday, March 11, 2020, the State of Alaska and the Alaska School Activities Association announced the postponement of the State Basketball and Cheer Championships.
• On Friday, March 13, 2020, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, the Alaska Chief Medical Officer, the Alaska Division of Public Health and the Office of the Governor issued its first health mandate. As part of Mandate 1.2, from March 16 through March 30, all public schools are to be operated as non-student contact days in which students will not be attending school. During this time, all after school activities are to be suspended.
• The purpose of the postponement and mandate is to reduce the possibility for spreading Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
