Update on plans for 2010-11 school year regarding officials
By staff | Wednesday, July 28, 2010 11:16 AM
As you may be aware, the Texas Association of Sports Officials (TASO) has filed a lawsuit regarding the decision of the UIL Legislative Council to amend section 1204 of the UIL Constitution and Contest Rules for the 2010-11 school year. As the 2010-11 school year approaches, due in large part to this ongoing litigation, questions have arisen concerning insurance coverage for officials who are members of chapters that have previously registered with the UIL. Insurance coverage provided as part of the UIL registration process for officials and chapters that registered with UIL during the 2009-10 school year expired as of June 30, 2010.

Start of New Job Marked With Unprecedented Changes
By Traci Neely | Saturday, May 22, 2010 10:11 AM
Little did I know that the first two months working in the UIL office would be packed full of unprecedented events. I started work in late February, just in time to work the state championships for swimming and diving and the girls’ and boys’ basketball tournaments. Shortly thereafter, it seemed to calm down, and I was able to get a grasp on my new environment.
Then came the swine flu.
The end of April would bring a dilemma to the UIL that created historic consequences involving a very large number of spring sport athletes across the state.
The decision to cancel regional track meets brought on a deluge of public communication to the UIL office. The softball and baseball postponements created even more phone calls and frustrated athletes, coaches, school personnel and parents.
Finally, when all the events were rescheduled, some relief came but also so did some additional frustration. We knew that rescheduling events was the right thing to do, however it created more havoc on the previously adjusted details for softball, the late state track meet and other end of the year events such as high school graduations and senior prom.
