HAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. — Hamilton County Schools says they are implementing new safety protocols for all athletic events and school board meetings.
The changes reflect those recently made by Tyner Academy.
HCS says the following protocols will go into effect immediately for athletic events:
- Students will only be permitted admission with a school-issued ticket OR if they are identified as a student of a school participating in the event through PowerSchool verification.
- Minors under the age of 18 and not affiliated with either school playing in the game must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- To promote a secure environment, all attendees will be screened upon entry, including a hand-held or walk-through metal detector scan and bag check.
- All bags must be clear** or smaller than 4.5″ x 6.5″, and face coverings of any kind are prohibited.
Spectators will also be required to remain in designated areas; fields and restricted spaces are off limits. Loitering in walkways, concourses, parking lots, or other areas in and around the school campus are not allowed…
