The Sherburne-Earlville Central School District has put athletics and all other extracurricular activities on pause until December, Superintendent Robert Berson announced Monday.

“We are pausing athletics and co-curricular activities to allow time and consideration for all relevant factors, such as state aid and clear guidance during the COVID-19 health crisis,” said Berson, who added that all New York state school districts are facing the possibility of a 20-percent reduction in state aid this school year. “We will re-evaluate the situation in December 2020.”

Should conditions prove favorable for sports to start, Berson said, SECSD would follow the condensed-seasons schedule outlined by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. The NYSPHSAA’s condensed schedule begins with Winter Sports on January 4, followed by Fall Sports Season II on March 1, and Spring Sports on April 19.
