The security measures follow the suspension of Friday night’s game between Cheltenham and Abington after a parent in the stadium noticed that a student had a gun.
Cheltenham High School will screen attendees of Thursday’s home varsity football game with metal detector wands, after police say a student brought a gun to the team’s game at Abington High School last Friday.
All bags will be searched, Scriven and D’Andrea said, adding that “absolutely no backpacks or large bags will be allowed.” Gates open at 6 p.m. and will close at the beginning of halftime or once the stadium reaches capacity — whichever happens first.Advertisement The incident has spurred calls for increased security. In addition to using metal detectors and banning backpacks, Scriven and D’Andrea said other measures implemented last September would be in place Thursday: High school students will have to show valid student IDs to enter the game, while students younger than 18 who don’t have IDs will have to be with an adult who is 21 or older.
