The CIAC says that no full team practices will occur prior to Sept. 21, as it needs two weeks of COVID-19 data to determine if the return to in-school learning will impact sports.

It says it will be monitoring COVID-19 metrics daily, and will update schools each Friday on the outlook for the following week.
