It’s not a very nice Sunday here in Lawrence, with wet snow falling and the temperature hovering around 32 degrees.

A quick check of the forecast for regional contests, however, appears to give us all a break around Kansas, and clear sailing to your regional.

KSPA Regional and State snow policy: The decision to hold the contest during inclement weather is up to the discretion of the contest director at each site. It is then left to the discretion of each individual school’s district to determine whether it is sufficiently safe for the students to travel to the contest. The KSPA executive board has instituted a NO REFUND policy if the contest is held, but the individual school is unable to attend. It is necessary to do this because our costs are still incurred if the regional is held.
