Stadium Bag Policy FAQ
WHY DID KAUFMAN ISD ADOPT THE POLICY?
The District’s public safety and stadium security policies are reviewed and updated periodically to promote the safety and security of Kaufman ISD students, staff, families and visitors at our stadiums.
DO I HAVE TO PUT EVERYTHING I’M CARRYING INTO THE PERMISSIBLE BAGS?
No. The limitation only applies to the type of bags carried into the stadium. You are permitted to carry items in your pockets, if you choose not to put them in a clear bag or clutch.
WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS WITH BACKPACKS?
Student spectators will not be allowed to bring backpacks or other bags into the stadium. Student groups such as bands, cheerleaders and drill teams will be allowed to have bags if they enter with their group at the appropriate entrance.
CAN FANS CARRY CAMERAS, BINOCULARS, OR SMART PHONES SEPARATELY FROM WHAT THEY PUT IN A CLEAR BAG?
Yes. Binoculars, smart phones and cameras are allowed in the stadium, they simply cannot be contained in a bag unless the bag meets the requirements listed above.
WHAT ABOUT ITEMS NEEDED FOR BABIES/CHILDREN?
A baby carrier, detachable infant car seat, or stroller is permitted in the stadium if it is accompanying an infant/small child and there’s not an attached bag. Other items needed for a baby or small child may be carried in clear gallon-size resealable bags.
IF I HAVE SPECIAL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT I NEED TO HAVE WITH ME AT ALL TIMES, WHERE DO I PUT THAT?
Medically necessary items are permitted. Medications and small devices can be carried in a clear resealable bag.
WHAT ABOUT BRINGING BLANKETS IN COLD WEATHER?
Fans will be able to bring blankets by tossing them loosely over a shoulder or arm.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I SHOW UP AT THE GATE WITH A BAG THAT IS NOT PERMITTED?
Fans carrying bags that do not meet the criteria will be asked to return the bag to their vehicle.
