EGUSD ATHLETIC COVID-19 WAIVER
Elk Grove Unified School District (“EGUSD”) is complying with guidance and taking
reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19. However, this risk cannot be
completely eliminated and EGUSD cannot guarantee that you and/or, if applicable, your
student(s)/child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participating in the
EGUSD athletic program and related events and activities (“Athletic Program”) could increase
your and/or, if applicable, your student(s)/child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
Consequently, for the safety of our staff, students, parents, and other visitors, EGUSD requires
all persons participating in its activities during this pandemic to acknowledge an assumption of
the risk, waive (i.e. release) liability, and agree to abide by our COVID-19 protocols.
