As part of Lexington Two’s commitment to the safety of students, families, employees, and community members, the district will implement regular use of metal detectors to screen spectators at arena and stadium events beginning on Monday, November 28.  

All event attendees will be asked to follow instructions of the security screening staff on site, and only clear bags will be allowed in stadiums and arenas.  Spectators will be asked to individually walk through the metal detector, which will beep if a metal object is detected.  Anyone with a prohibited item will be asked to take the item back to a vehicle before being permitted into the stadium or arena. Spectators will not be asked to remove any belts, clothing, hats, or shoes. 

The district has posted on its website a list of frequently asked questions about metal detectors, as well as a list of prohibited items at stadium and arena events. Find details by clicking here.
