Tullahoma’s football game against Nolensville on Friday, Sept. 19, will mark the beginning of Tullahoma City Schools’ (TCS) clear bag policy at home athletic events.
“Tullahoma High School is committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all students, families, and guests who attend our athletic events and activities,” said Dr. Greg English, Tullahoma High School Principal. “Implementing a clear bag policy allows us to enhance security and ensure that our facilities remain safe places where the focus can remain on supporting our students.”
Clear tote bags made of plastic, vinyl, or PVC that do not exceed 12x6x12 inches will be allowed into athletic facilities. Additionally, one-gallon clear plastic bags will be permitted. Medical bags that have been approved for medical purposes are permitted after inspection.
Backpacks, fanny packs, duffel bags, coolers, briefcases, diaper bags, and luggage of any kind will not be allowed into the facility. The policy will be enforced at all TCS middle and high school home athletic events.
“We strive to provide safe spaces for all and believe Tullahoma City Schools instituting this clear bag policy for athletic events is a positive adjustment for student and visitor safety,” said Dr. Catherine Stephens, TCS Director of Schools. “TCS is not the first district to implement this policy, as some of our neighboring counties have had this in effect for several years. We appreciate the support of our students, staff, families and community with this new clear bag policy. We look forward to joining you as we cheer on our Wildcats, Bobcats and Panthers.”
