In accordance to the Arkansas Activities Association’s (AAA) regular calendar, school athletics and related activities will be prepped to resume this fall, according to a Tuesday afternoon statement from the association. The preparations are contingent upon compliance with all directives as issued by Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s office and the Department of Health.
