Among other items the board of directors approved

Students must participate in one-quarter of a team’s schedule in order to be eligible for postseason play, provided that they do not suffer an injury. In that case, the player must remain on the roster and have a certified note from a doctor or physician confirming the injury with the school. The board updated its third-party filming bylaw to prohibit radio and television broadcasting as well as online streaming without consent of the host school. However, video recording for media representatives is allowed. The board updated language regarding legally separated parents, stating that a student’s residence remains at that school if one of the parents still lives in the attendance zone. An athlete who is ejected for battery on another player during a contest will be suspended from 15 percent of his sport’s game limitation on first offense, as well as complete a sportsmanship course and meet with Marquez. A second violation will suspend the athlete for a full year. Also, the NMAA anticipates releasing its three-year enrollment figures and possible two-year classification and alignment plan beginning with the 2020-21 school year at its Sept. 18 board meeting.
