Yukon Public Schools has announced spectator safety guidelines for athletic events.
YPS patrons were notified in an Aug. 30th email from Yukon school officials.
“Student, staff and patron safety and security is a top priority of Yukon Public Schools,” YPS officials wrote in a news release.
“We have worked diligently with the district administration and local law enforcement to update our safety and security protocols at athletic events. We understand that these guidelines may be an inconvenience, but we appreciate your understanding and support as we work to make our events enjoyable and safe.”
These “spectator guidelines” are listed for YPS athletic events:
