Clovis, California – The Clovis Unified School District (CUSD) is taking significant steps to bolster safety and security at high school football games. Starting this season, attendees at games held at Lamonica Stadium and Veteran’s Memorial Stadium will experience enhanced screening procedures thanks to the implementation of new, cutting-edge security technology.

This proactive measure comes as a response to growing concerns regarding safety at public events, and CUSD is committed to providing a secure and enjoyable environment for students, families, and community members. The district understands that football games are a cherished tradition in Clovis, and ensuring everyone’s well-being is paramount.

What's Changing?

The new security measures involve the deployment of advanced screening technology, details of which are being kept confidential to prevent circumvention. However, CUSD officials confirmed that the technology will significantly improve the ability to detect prohibited items and potential threats. Expect to see increased security personnel, including both district staff and contracted security professionals, working to facilitate the screening process efficiently and respectfully.

“Our priority is always the safety and well-being of our students and community,” stated Superintendent Cory Ellis. “These enhancements are a direct result of careful planning and collaboration with local law enforcement and security experts. We believe this will create a safer and more secure atmosphere for everyone attending our football games.”

Expect Delays & Plan Accordingly

CUSD anticipates that the enhanced security measures may result in slightly longer entry times. Attendees are strongly encouraged to arrive earlier than usual to allow ample time for the screening process. The district is working diligently to streamline the process and minimize any inconvenience.

What to Expect at the Stadiums:

• Increased Security Personnel: More security staff will be present to manage crowds and assist with screening.
• Advanced Screening Technology: Expect to encounter new technology designed to identify prohibited items.
• Bag Checks: All bags are subject to inspection. Clear bag policies may be in effect – check the CUSD website for specific details.
• Metal Detectors: The use of metal detectors may be implemented.

Cooperation is Key

CUSD is asking for the community's cooperation and understanding as these new measures are implemented. The district believes that by working together, they can create a safe and positive experience for all attendees. Further information, including specific stadium policies and frequently asked questions, can be found on the Clovis Unified School District website.
