SDOC is continually reviewing safety and security measures. To enhance safety inside athletic venues, the district will implement a Clear Bag Protocol as part of the screening process to enter all athletic events for the 2022-2023 school year. A clear bag is easily searched, reduces faulty bag searches, and supports the Department of Homeland Security's "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign.

SPECTATORS WILL BE PERMITTED TO CARRY 

ONE LARGE CLEAR BAG UP TO 12” X 12” X 6”

PLUS A SMALL CLUTCH PURSE  up to 4.5" X 6.5"
