In order to increase the safety of our students, staff and guests at athletic and arts events, the School District of Lee County will no longer allow backpacks and other large bags into stadiums, gymnasiums and theaters.
The District is taking this proactive approach in light of recent violence at high school football games in other parts of the state.
Prohibited items include but are not limited to:
Book bags, backpacks, duffel bags or large purses
Any item that could be used as a missile
Cans/Bottles
Coolers
Fireworks
Horns/Lasers
Any type of weapon on school property is already prohibited under board policy. All guests attending events may be subject to a search.
These changes implement policies similar to what the NCAA, professional sports teams, large arenas and theaters require of their guests.
Thank you!
