Event Safety Reminders
EVENT SAFETY REMINDER: Lexington-Richland School District Five is committed to the safety of everyone who attends our district events. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the steps we take to ensure event safety for students, staff, and the community. Thank you for your cooperation. We will see you at the game!
- Clear Bag Requirement
- Student Supervision: All students 8th grade or younger are required to attend games with parents or guardians.
- Tickets: Admission will be charged throughout the duration of games.
- Metal Detectors: The district has implemented metal detectors to screen all spectators, beginning with varsity football games at Chapin High School, Dutch Fork High School and Irmo High School International School for the Arts.
- Safety Officials: We partner with law enforcement and event staff to ensure spectator safety for the duration of the event. School Resource Officers also will travel with teams at away games.
