Cancellation policy for all NYSAIS events **Updated for COVID-19 Digital Resources**
Attendance eligibility: Attendance during conference lectures, sessions, breakouts, and meetings is strictly limited to those attendees who are currently employed at schools. Consultants, companies, firms, etc. engaged by schools are not employees of schools and may attend conferences in the capacity of "Exhibitor" (details for exhibiting are here) at select events. Digital events are currently TBD.
Refund requests are currently on a case-by-case review, but typically cannot be granted as the attendees will be sent Zoom links automatically. We are happy to substitute name(s) for the paid registration(s). If the attendee cannot participate in-person, most events are recorded and all attendees registered prior to each deadline (1 hour before the start of the event) will receive any recordings and presentation materials, barring confidentiality or quality issues. Please check on the recording status prior to registering, if there is any doubt of attendance.
Please send emailed requests to suzanne@nysais.org and maria@nysais.org. Telephone requests WILL NOT be honored
Refunds are at the discretion of NYSAIS staff.
Weather-related cancellations
In the event of a snowstorm, NYSAIS will not cancel events unless the venue closes. Unless the conference or workshop is officially canceled, refunds will not be granted.
Upon cancellation of any registration, do be sure to also cancel any hotel arrangements. Hotel, meals, and overnight reservations are not the responsibility of NYSAIS.

NYSAIS Athletic Association
The mission of New York State interscholastic athletic programs is to foster the quest for excellence by creating an educational and competitive experience within an atmosphere of sportsmanship. Successful programs develop individual and team potential by promoting high standards of competence, character, civility, and citizenship.
Accreditation
All good schools continually evaluate their performance by means of their own devising. Without evaluation an institution ossifies, and in a changing world it loses its meaning for society. But the view a school takes of itself needs periodically to be supplemented by an external view, one that brings a perspective the school cannot command.
