MWISD Clear Bag Policy

In an effort to improve security for patrons of Mineral Wells ISD events, the district has adopted a clear bag policy. This is similar to what several surrounding districts have had in place. 
 

To clarify, this policy is in effect for events outside of the normal school day. This will apply to all extracurricular events at the stadiums, gyms, and campus buildings. This is not a clear backpack policy for students at school.
 

Along with the clear bag policy, outside food or drink will be prohibited at these events.
