Oneida city school district superintendent - mary-margaret zehr - posted a letter to families and students saying that the district has decided to delay its fall athletic season.

The letter cited the inability to have 100% of students attend in person - with over 20% learning still learning virtually.

Zehr also said that transportation for athletic teams are an issue because it is considered unsafe to operate a bus at full capacity.

Oneida is hoping to hold its fall sports seasons later in the school year.

High-risk fall sports - such as football - in which the indians compete have been moved to the fall sports season two beginning on march first.
