Safety Measures at Home Games

At Catoosa Public Schools, we are dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all attendees at athletics events. The following security procedures are implemented for football games and other athletics events hosted at Catoosa.

1. Smoke-Free, Tobacco-Free
As always, possession of tobacco products or simulated tobacco products on school property is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, vape products. If a vape product is found on your person, you will be asked to take it back to your vehicle.

2. Parent/Guardian Supervision
All students in grades PK-5 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the entire event.

3. Third-Party Students
If a student under 18 does not attend one of the two schools playing, that student must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If that student is 18 or over, they are allowed to attend unaccompanied, and they will have the same expectations as any adult.

4. Clear Bags Only
All attendees, including students, parents, staff, and visitors, can bring only clear bags to games. This policy will enable our security personnel to easily inspect the contents of bags and ensure that prohibited items are not brought onto the premises.

Cases containing medical equipment (insulin, EpiPens, etc.) are permitted, but they are subject to inspection.

5. Additional Staff
Games will have an increased presence of CPS staff. The staff will wear Catoosa Admin Apparel with name tags so that they are easily identifiable in a crowd.

6. Gate Security
Security personnel will be stationed at each entrance at the event.

7. See Something, Say Something
Spectators are encouraged to speak out if they see or hear anything suspicious. Please visit the Awareity Reporting Site for reporting.

8. Student School Section
Students, grades 6-12, will sit in a designated area during home games at Frank McNabb Stadium, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. This designated area is located below the high school band section on the south end of the home side. The area will be clearly marked and monitored by Catoosa Public Schools employees. All gates will be monitored during the entire game.

9. No Re-Entry
There are no in-and-out privileges. Re-Entry will require purchasing another ticket. Tickets will not be sold after the 3rd Quarter has begun.

NOTE
The above procedures are in addition to established rules, such as the prohibition of weapons and alcohol, etc.

For questions about the clear bag policy or other procedures, please contact the Athletics Department at (918) 266-8619.
