WCSD high schools must follow the Air Quality Index recommendations regarding athletic activities and contest during practices and games. 

When the AQI level reach 100 – 150

Decisions about whether to keep student-athletes inside will be made by the school site administrator.

• If the school administrator decides to cancel practices at the school site, all practices are canceled.
• If the school administrator decides to continue practice at this level using a common sense approach. Practice/Games will be permitted under the following conditions:
  • The coaches and ATC have identified all student-athletes that might have to be monitored for sensitivity to air pollution or smoke.
  • Limit and control running and conditioning
  • Increase the number of water breaks and team breaks
  • Limit or excuse those student-athletes that are members of the sensitive group
  • Have a coach check the ACI every 30 minutes to stay updated.

ONCE THE AQI reaches, 151 practice is CANCELLED and everyone must go inside.
