Relating to the removal of a spectator of certain school extracurricular athletic activities or competitions.

Contracts

• Security Vendor MSAs: Amend Master Service Agreements with security firms. Remove any "escalation ladder" requirements (e.g., warn, then remove). Clauses must explicitly state that security personnel are authorized and required to execute immediate ejections upon an official's signal.
• Ticketing & Entry Terms: Revise the "Terms of Entry" on physical tickets and digital platforms (e.g., Ticket Spicket, GoFan). Language must explicitly waive the spectator's right to a prior warning and acknowledge that entry is a revocable license subject to immediate termination.

Hiring/Training

• Protocol Training: Security staff and venue managers require training on "Direct Action" protocols. Establish a universal hand signal or communication code between game officials (referees) and security to identify spectators for removal without game delay.
• De-escalation Training: Because the "cooling off" period of a warning is removed, the risk of immediate physical confrontation increases. Security teams must be retrained on handling aggressive, immediate removals.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Incident Logs: Update incident report forms to replace "Warning Issued Time" fields with "Behavior Triggering Immediate Ejection."
• Evidence Retention: Mandate a 90-day retention policy for body-camera footage or CCTV regarding ejections to defend against potential claims of arbitrary or discriminatory enforcement, as the procedural safeguard of a warning no longer exists.

Fees & Costs

• Insurance Review: No direct fee increases. However, consult your liability carrier regarding "Assault and Battery" or "Use of Force" exclusions, as immediate ejections may increase physical altercations.
