The
WIAA Representative Assembly
will be voting on the proposed amendments April 27 - May 4.

WIAA Handbook
.
Amendments come from three (3) sources: a collaborative proposal sponsored by a minimum of five (5) member schools, the WIAA Executive Board which includes work from standing WIAA committees, and the Washington State School Directors Association Interscholastic Activities Committee (WSSDA IAC).
The Representative Assembly
