BOISE, Idaho — With smoke pouring into the Treasure Valley from wildfires, St. Luke's Air Quality Index (AQI) deemed the area's air quality as "unhealthy" Friday afternoon. With an AQI of 165, the West Ada and Boise school districts announced all outdoor athletic events were canceled.
"Unhealthy" air quality includes an AQI between 150 and 200. According to St. Luke's, "everyone may begin to experience health effects," when the AQI reaches an unhealthy level.
The cancellations directly impacted Friday's Week 3 high school football schedule. Junior high school football, cross country, tennis and softball events were also canceled for the Boise School District.
“We’re going to do everything that we can to hold these athletic events, knowing how important they are not just to the kids, but to the whole community," Boise School District Communications Specialist, Ryan Hill said. "At the same time, we have to be very mindful of the student athletes’ health. We have to be mindful of the parents’ health, we have to be mindful of out staffs’ health.”
On Saturday, the West Ada School District announced Friday's rescheduled athletic events will move forward Saturday as planned.
