One Florida lawmaker said she plans to file legislation that will stop female high school athletes from being asked to turn in information about their menstrual periods to their schools when they register to play.
She isn’t the only one pushing for changes. Two South Florida school boards are keeping the pressure on the FHSAA.
Agreeing with Palm Beach and Broward school boards, Berman said the change should be codified into state law if the FHSAA doesn’t take action at one of its two upcoming meetings on Jan. 17 and Feb. 26. Right now, state law requires the results of the physical exam be submitted and approved by athletes’ schools.
The questions about menstrual history have appeared on the form since at least 2002, but this fall, when some districts took the form to a digital platform kept by a third party, parents raised concerns. The FHSAA board of directors at its Nov. 7 meeting voted to keep the questions and require athletes to turn in all pages of the form to their coach and athletic director.
Committee member Bob Sefcik said the committee has discussed the questions at several of its past meetings, but had not rendered any decisions as of Dec. 12. The sports medicine committee’s next meeting will be held virtually on Jan. 17. It’s a special meeting called to discuss the form, according to Scott Jamison, FHSAA’s associate executive director for athletics services.The FHSAA is designated by state law as the governing nonprofit organization of public school athletics in Florida.
