Operative words
Based on the recent directive from the New Mexico Public Education Department that schools will close for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic year, the NMAA and its Board of Directors have cancelled the 2020 State Spirit Championships, the 2020 Spring Sports Season, and all remaining activities for the current school year. This cancellation applies to practices/workouts, in addition to contests/events.... Secretary Stewart later added, "for the rest of the year, all athletic activities and similar activities sponsored by the NMAA are cancelled."
Enforcement
The PED directive (N.M. Stat. s. 22-2-2; Public Health Emergency Response Act); NMAA bylaws binding member schools
