Which item is included in the Iowa Unified Activity Calendar?

• A. Graduation dates
• B. Post season tournament dates
• C. Music and speech festival dates
• D. State debate dates

Answer: (B)

The Iowa Unified Activity Calendar is a centralized reference that coordinates statewide interscholastic events so schools can plan around common dates and avoid conflicts. Post-season tournament dates are included because these events involve many schools, require shared logistics like venues and officials, and impact the end of the season planning for teams and districts. Having these dates in a single calendar helps administrators align schedules, transportation, and eligibility windows. Graduation dates are set by individual schools and ceremonies, so they aren’t part of this statewide activity calendar. Music and speech festival dates and state debate dates are typically managed by different organizations or separate calendars, not the unified schedule used for postseason activity planning.
