Crittenden County High School announced Friday afternoon that all its students will be admitted free to tonight’s football home opener against Union County, thanks to sponsorship from First United Bank.
The district also detailed new safety measures, including Open Gate security towers at both entrances. Similar to those used at concerts and pro sporting events, the walk-through detectors will be staffed by school personnel, the school resource officer and local law enforcement. Spectators should remove metal objects such as keys and cellphones before entering.
Large bags, sports equipment and unsupervised entry by younger students are prohibited. Elementary students must sit with a parent or guardian, and middle school students must be accompanied by an adult.
Officials noted that security screening may slow entry but emphasized that safety remains the district’s top priority. Sports programs across the region have been exercising greater security since a shooting occurred last Friday night in the parking lot of a high school football game at Mayfield.
