COMMUNITY NOTICE

Athletic Facility Access Policy Changes

RUSK ISD would like to inform our community of changes to athletic facility access procedures in accordance with updated district policy. These changes are effective immediately.

Community members will no longer be permitted to access or use athletic facilities during school hours or school-related athletic activities when students, coaches, or staff are present.

This restriction applies to all athletic areas, including the weight room, stadium, fields, gyms, tennis courts, and the field house.

These procedures help ensure the safety and security of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff. Individuals attempting to access restricted areas during these times will be asked to leave.

Effective immediately, public observation of athletic practices, workouts, and training sessions will no longer be permitted for any sport or athletic program.

This includes observing practices or workouts from the stands, bleachers, gym seating areas, or any other designated spectator area. Parents, family members, and community members will not be permitted to attend or observe practices or workouts while athletic activities are taking place.

This policy applies to all sports, grade levels, and athletic programs.

Effective immediately, the entrance gate located between the weight room and field house will be closed to community access at all times, including before, during, and after school. This entrance is no longer to be used as an access point for parents, community members, or visitors.

All student-athletes, regardless of grade level or team, must be dropped off and picked up at the front entrance of the stadium. This will be the designated entrance and exit for all student-athletes accessing the weight room, stadium, and field house areas.

Parents and guardians are asked to plan accordingly and use the designated front stadium entrance for all student-athlete drop-off and pick-up.

We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of our parents and community as we implement these changes. Our priority is to provide a safe, secure, and controlled environment for all students, coaches, and staff.

Thank you for your continued support of Rusk ISD Athletics.
