The district says it is still developing a plan for home games in partnership with local law enforcement and other schools in its conference.

Only families of the football players and RHS students accompanied by a parent or guardian can attend Friday night's varsity football game at Washburn High School.

The district says it worked with Bloomington, Edina and some Minneapolis high schools to ensure guidelines were similar to theirs.
