If two schools have approved officials for a contest and the host school has contracted the officials, may either thehost or the visiting school cancel the contract of one or more of the officials prior to the contest?A. The Board of Directors, under the authority granted in Constitution 1.420, has adopted the following guidelines for such situations:(1) Prior to contract negotiations with an official, the host school should receive approval of the visiting schoolbefore employing the services of a designated official. The IHSA recommends that approval be in writing asprovided on the game contract.(2) Having contracted an approved official as listed in (1), only the host school can release or replace an officialfrom contractual commitments.(3) The visiting school has the privilege of requesting that a previously approved official be replaced. If thisoccurs, only the host school, as the contracting agent, becomes involved with the official. Usually, it will deferto the visiting school’s wishes if an acceptable replacement that is mutually agreeable to both schools can be found. However, this is not mandatory if (1) has been followed.(4) Whenever the host school cancels a legal contract because of the visiting school’s request, only the host school negotiates with the official in resolving the terms of the contract. The host school makes the paymentfor the contractual fee.(5) If the official is cancelled because of the visiting school’s request, the visiting school must reimburse the hostschool for the contracted fee. The host school will then reimburse the official.(6) If By-law 2.080 is not complied with by the host school, then all obligations in contractual matters must be assumed by the host school.(7) The contract must be valid in all aspects and both parties must comply with all of its provisions.
