After a deadly shooting during a Jefferson County high school football game on September 29, the district said all schools will be required to implement safety measures.
The shooting happened in the parking lot of Pleasure Ridge Park High School during a football game against Male. A student from Valley High School was killed in the shooting. Another person was injured but survived. Jefferson County Public Schools said the shooting was unrelated to the football game.
On Friday, October 11, almost two weeks after the shooting, Jefferson County Public Schools said they are enforcing rules at all schools to ensure the safety of spectators.
Carolyn Callahan, a spokesperson for Jefferson County Public Schools, said most schools were already implementing most of the following safety measures. Still, all schools will be required to enforce the following entrance criteria.
All spectators will be wanded before being granted entry
All students and adults will be required to show photo ID
No backpacks or large bags
Small clear bags (no larger than 12 x 6 x 12) will be allowed
Small clutch purses (no larger than 6.5 x 4.5) are subject to search
No exit and re-entry will be permitted
Middle school students must be accompanied by an adult
Gates will close at the start of the 3rd quarter. Jefferson County Public Schools said individual schools will still be making decisions on additional measures that they wish to employ.
