Ticketed Events Clear Bag Policy

To promote the safety and security of students, staff, families, and visitors Crandall ISD has instituted a clear bag policy at any school-sponsored events requiring tickets to enter. This new policy improves safety and security by limiting the size and type of bags permitted at performances, sporting and entertainment events in district facilities.

NOTE: Visitors who bring bags that do not meet the criteria outlined will be asked to return items to their vehicle prior to entry.

Exceptions: (exception items may be subject to search before entry)

  • Medically necessary items such as oxygen are permitted
  • Baby Strollers (no bags may be stored in the stroller)
  • Stadium Seats
  • Blankets (outside venues only during cold weather)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Crandall ISD adopt the policy?  This is a proactive measure to enhance safety during all CISD sponsored events.

How do these new regulations improve public safety? The regulation provides greater visibility of items being brought into CISD venues while not slowing entrance for events.

What about students with backpacks? Student are not permitted to bring backpacks or other bags into events. Student groups such as band, 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 is in their clear bag? Yes. Cameras, binoculars and smart phones are permitted in the stadium, but cannot be contained in a bag unless the bag meets the requirements listed above.  

What about items needed for babies and small children? A baby carrier, detachable infant car seat or stroller is permitted in the venue, if it is accompanying an infant/small child and there is not an attached bag. Other items needed for a baby or small child may be carried in a bag that meets the requirements listed above.
