As part of our ongoing commitment to school safety, starting with Patton High School’s home varsity game on Friday, Oct. 17, Burke County Public Schools will implement the use of handheld wand metal detectors at the entry gates. Starting next week, for all home high school JV and varsity football games, in addition to the wand detectors, BCPS will follow a clear bag only procedure.
