The New Fairfield School District has alerted parents to a new security measure for after school events at the middle and high school campuses.

Director of Operations Richard Sanzo says the safety of students, staff and community members while the buildings is of the utmost important and the district is looking to enhance existing security measures.  As of now, after-school access to New Fairfield High School and the middle school will be restricted to the main entrance of the high school. All other exterior doors, including those used to enter the gym and cafeteria lobby, will be locked.  Those attending sporting events will also be directed through the main doors of the high school and be required to check in with a security guard. 

Sanzo asked for cooperation and patience as they implement this new system.
