TUSD Policy on Winter Sports limitations on Practice during holiday break

We the parents of student/athletes would like the Tucson Unified School District to reconsider their policy on limiting practice days and times during the 2013/2014 holiday break. TUSD is putting our children at an unsafe, unfair advantage with other schools who will be practicing during the break. Not providing a safe environment for our children to practice and prepare for the season is unacceptable. We would like TUSD to reconsider limiting dates or times and provide a safe, fair place for our students to prepare for the winter sports season. Failure to allow these student athletes to prepare could deem them not prepared physically or mentally for fair competition. The following signatures represent parents who support the idea of allowing our children the right to practice within the guidelines states by the Arizona Interscholastic Athletic association with all other schools from the state of Arizona.
