Thank you to all of those who supported the petition. The motion to resume sports passed 4-1. Competition resumes!!! We're grateful for the Trustees making careful consideration and for listening.
As members of the community, parents of student athletes, and sports fans, we recognize the challenges facing the Nampa School District trustees regarding balancing a healthy educational environment and taking risks in a COVID-19 world. Students, educators, artists, athletes, employees, and many other stakeholders continue to be adversely impacted by these challenges.
With this petition we would like to make our feelings known: Let the games begin!!!
With certain precautionary measures, risk can be minimal:
1. Screen participants prior to entry, including taking temperatures,
2. Wear masks during competitions,
3. Encourage social distancing by maximizing the use of bleacher areas, etc.
As parents and community members, we commit to doing our part by being responsible stakeholders as well by encouraging healthy habits while at home in addition to out in the community. Together we can make a lasting impact to making a tangible difference for the good for our student athletes.

Work in mental health field. We have lost far too many people this year to depression and/or anxiety. It’s important to let them play with appropriate precautions.
I believe that the athletes can play. I also believe that we can have fans at the games. Go with two parents per athlete worked good in the fall. Make it that all fans wear masks and social distance. No Exceptions!
Please do not make competitors wear masks while on the court competing. As a spectator, I will wear a mask to watch my child play , but its not good for their physical health to wear a mask while running and breathing heavily.
It is so important to keep our kids engaged, active and involved for their mental and physical well being. Being involved with sports will also help academically as their our goals that have to be met in order to play. By following a few simple guidelines, our kids and coaches will remain as safe as any other time throughout history.
My son is a senior and I do not want to miss one moment of him playing in any game he's worked hard all his life to get to this point I just would like to be there to support it
The students need winter sports.
We need Nampa sports back for these kids.

If parents and athletes feel unsafe, they have the right to not be part of a sport. For everyone else, let them have their year. Let them have their opportunities. Kids live for this.
