Large bags, backpacks, and cinch bags will no longer be allowed on the campus venues, which include high school gymnasiums and stadiums. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection.

In addition, there will be increased security patrols at all games and competitions. This security enhancement is effective immediately and will impact this week’s games.
