What additional Safety & Security steps do attendees need to take?
Reminder to all students: No outside backpacks or bags within the fair. | These events can get very busy due to many high schools attending each event. In an effort to keep these events safe and less crowded, we are asking all students to leave their backpacks and extra bags on the bus or in their car. We will be providing plastic bags in the entryway for students to collect fair information. Each hosting fair site is taking their own additional safety and security steps with many sites having onsite security staff at the fair, and some of the sites will be screening for no bags in the fair. If you have further questions about this plan for the fair you are attending, please contact the Site Host for more details. Thank you for your team help to keep these events safe. Check the LIVE Fair Safety Updates page for updates on this. Thank you!
