Officiating fees should be agreed upon in negotiations between the local officials
association and the school. The AHSAA highly recommends that joint responsibility
be assumed in the negotiations. The accomplishment of any such agreement can be
complete only when the fee or fees agreed upon are within the ability of the school to
pay and are also commensurate with the services rendered. Any agreed-upon fees must
be within the maximum amount the schools are allowed to pay according to the AHSAA
Maximum Fee Schedule.
All officials understand that they are independent contractors officiating for the
schools serviced by their local associations and the AHSAA. They agree when they register
to abide by the constitution and by-laws of their local associations with whom they
voluntarily choose to affiliate. They also agree to abide by all of the rules and regulations
of the AHSAA with whom they voluntarily choose to affiliate during the current
registration year.
They also understand that they are independent agents choosing to affiliate with
their local associations and the AHSAA. Therefore, they release their local association
officers and the AHSAA staff from any liability or responsibility for any damage or
injury incurred by them to themselves or anyone else because of their officiating during
the current registration year.
Finally, they understand that all taxes due on the income collected by them because
of their officiating are their responsibility to file and not the responsibility of their local
association or the AHSAA.
