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.

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

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