DALLAS - To enhance safety at athletic events, Dallas ISD now requires students attending district-hosted games without an adult to present a student ID badge.

Students without a school-issued ID and Dallas ISD students from other high schools will not be permitted entry unless accompanied by an adult. These measures will apply to all district athletic facilities and align with neighboring districts' protocols.
