From the AHSAA:
Passage of the Alabama Accountability Act of 2013 last week sparked numerous
questions regarding its impact on interscholastic athletics governed by the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA).
A meeting Tuesday that included AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese and
Alabama Senate leaders resulted in a clearer understanding of the Act as it relates to AHSAA rules.
"The
leadership assured us that all Alabama High School Athletic Association
rules would take precedent over any stipulation contained in the Act. In
addition, they indicated that they completely support the AHSAA mission
and that the AHSAA has full autonomy to coordinate and regulate its
rules," said Savarese.
"In fact, the Act does not apply to or alter the rules established by AHSAA
member schools."
