0:00 / 0:00

As part of Seguin ISD’s ongoing commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for all students, staff, families, and visitors, walk-through metal detectors will be used at the entrances of select special events held at district facilities, including but not limited to athletic events, performances, and ceremonies.

Guests attending these events will be asked to follow the directions of security screening personnel. Large metal items—such as phones, keys, cameras, and permitted seat cushions—should be placed in designated containers on the screening tables before walking through the metal detectors. Guests will not be required to remove belts, watches, wallets, jewelry, shoes, jackets, coins, or other small personal items.

Seguin ISD will continue to enforce its clear bag policy to enhance safety and expedite the entry process.

Metal Detector FAQ's

To continue Seguin ISD's commitment to provide a safe and secure environment for students and guests at our facilities, Seguin ISD is implementing walk-through metal detectors at graduation and other special events.

Individuals will be asked to follow the instructions of the gate security screening staff and place large objects on the screening table before passing through the walk-through metal detectors.

Fans with concerns about passing through the walk through metal detectors will still be subject to screening with a hand-held metal detector wand. If you are still uncomfortable with the hand-held wands, inform a member of the gate security staff so they may notify law enforcement.
