Clear Bag Policy and Prohibited Items
The Berry Center enforces a clear bag policy. Students and guests will not be allowed to enter the Berry Center with a non-conforming bag. All bags and purses may be subject to search upon entrance. Students and guests will be asked to return items to their vehicle if it does not meet the guidelines.
Are all purses prohibited?
Small clutch purses, with or without a handle or strap, no larger than 6" x 9" are
permitted. Purses larger than this are not permitted.
What about diaper bags?
Everything that you would put into a diaper bag must now be carried in a clear bag.
Each member of a family, including children, is allowed to carry an approved clear
bag and a clutch purse into the center.
