Earlier this week, the North Central Missouri Conference- which includes the Marshall Public School District- released its plan for opening sports and activities.

Marshall Superintendent Dr. Carol Maher has put out updated information that corrects a mistake in that document relating to the number of spectators allowed at extracurricular events.

A release from Dr. Maher says the correct language in part of the document is:

School superintendents will determine which of the following Tiers will be in effect at each performance/event. The North Central Missouri Conference (NCMC) has developed a process in which this will be determined to minimize confusion or hardships on parents and other spectators.

When hosting or visiting another NCMC district, teams, groups and/or individuals from both (or all) schools will participate at the highest tier of either team(s). For example, if one team is at Tier 1 and the other team is Tier 2, the event/game will not be forfeited but recorded as a “cancelled” event/game. If one school is at Tier 2 and the other(s) is/are at Tier 3, both (all) will participate at the Tier 2 level. (Note: Football at Marshall, to be played at MO Valley College, will be limited to two spectators per participant.)

– Tier 1 (Essential): Participants, Coaches/Directors, Officials, Event Staff, Security, Media, Biological parents/guardian(s); – Tier 2 (Preferred): Spectators (Limit four per participant); – Tier 3 (Non-essential): Spectators (No limit per participant), Concessions/Vendors.
