Bags:

 

Spectators are strongly encouraged not to bring any bags. The following is the bag policy for all spectators:

 

One (1) clear tote bag (plastic, vinyl, or PVC) per person is permitted.

 

Clear totes should not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″ and schools have the discretion to prohibit any oversized clear tote bags.

 

One (1) one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziplock bag or similar) per person is permitted.

 

Clear bags cannot be tinted or have large graphics that obstruct visibility.

 

Approved family care items (diapers, formula, etc.) must be included in the clear plastic tote bag.

 

As an alternative, attendees may use a small “clutch” purse, no larger than 4 ½ inches by 6 ½ inches.

All bags are subject to be searched.

 

Prohibited items: include, but are not limited to: purses, fanny packs, backpacks, duffel bags, coolers, briefcases, diaper bags, cinch bags, luggage of any kind, and computer bags.

 

Exceptions: students participating in the event (athletes, cheerleaders, musicians, etc.), officials/referees, and RCS employees or employees from visiting out-of-district schools may bring bags that are necessary for the event. Bags necessary for approved medical equipment are permitted.

 

Adult Supervision:

 

Children who are middle-school age or younger must be accompanied by an adult, preferably a parent/guardian, for entry into the athletic event.

 

High-school-age students from the home school, visiting school, or community may attend the game without being accompanied by an adult.

 

Anyone who violates these rules will be removed from the event and/or banned from attending events. Law enforcement and/or school officials will contact parents/guardians of students/juveniles and there could be school-based (for students) and/or criminal consequences for offenses in the Student Code of Conduct and/or breaking the law.

 

No Re-Entry:

 

Our schools will continue to enforce a no re-entry policy in all athletic venues. If a spectator leaves the venue, they will not be readmitted, unless there are extenuating circumstances as approved by school officials.

 

Law Enforcement Presence:

 

In collaboration with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, there may be additional officers employed at an athletic event, in the venue and around the campus. All persons, personal items, and vehicles are subject to be searched on school property.

 

Capacity:

 

Depending on multiple factors, including venue capacity, availability of law enforcement and emergency medical services, and anything deemed a safety or security risk, capacities could be limited and ticket sales restricted.

 

At the discretion of school officials, additional procedures or modifications may be implemented and enforced.
