ESD will continue enforcing its clear bag policy for the 2024-25 school year to enhance safety and security. The Clear Bag Policy restricts the size and type of bags allowed in stadiums, gymnasiums, and other athletic fields. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, purses larger than a 4.5" x 6.5” clutch, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, grocery bags, cinch bags, luggage, computer bags, camera bags, or any bag larger than the permissible size. Permitted bags include:
Tote bags that are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”
One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags
Small clutch bags, with or without a handle or strap, no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” (approximately the size of a hand)
Bags that are not permitted include:
Backpacks, printed plastic bags, fanny packs, purses, reusable grocery totes, mesh or straw bags, duffle bags, large totes, and camera or binocular cases.
Diaper bags are not allowed. Items normally carried in a diaper bag must be placed in a clear plastic bag for venue entry.
In the near future, metal detector screening and a search of all carried items may take place at all ESD Athletic Venues. There are no provisions available to store or safeguard any prohibited bags. ESD is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
*An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at a gate by the respective gate supervisor.
