Dear Parents/Guardians/Fans,

The SDHSAA is attempting to gather the economic impact data of our state events for the purposes of engaging local chambers of commerce to explore ways to keep costs to families down and to explore cost saving avenues for our member schools. We started this last year with state volleyball and will end it this fall with state football.  Your responses are confidential and are anonymously compiled within the IMPLAN Economic Impact computer program. No identifying data will be asked of you or used within the study. We appreciate you taking the time to help us with this undertaking. Your feedback is necessary and appreciated. If possible, please take the survey as soon after your event as possible, as our IMPLAN license runs out shortly after the fall season.
The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DS7TQNX
Once again, I thank you for your time and I thank you for supporting high school education-based athletics and activities.

Sincerely,
Dan Swartos
SDHSAA Executive Director
