Public schools in Flint, Michigan, begin enforcing a ban on backpacks, even those made of clear plastic material, that was enacted over concerns about firearms, weapons and threats.
Public schools in Flint, Michigan, on Monday began enforcing a ban on backpacks, even those made of clear plastic material, that was enacted over concerns about firearms, weapons and threats.
Last week, a high school student in Knoxville, Tennessee, was arrested after a gun he allegedly had in a backpack accidentally went off in a classroom, resulting in minor injuries for a teacher, authorities said.taken a handgun to his Newport News, Virginia, elementary school“Across the country, we have seen an increase in threatening behavior and contraband, including weapons, being brought into schools at all levels,” the district said in a frequently-asked-questions brief for parents.
The school board decided on a fairly straightforward backpack ban that prohibits those made of transparent plastic. The ban applies through the end of the school year.In a letter to parents and other constituents last week, Superintendent Kevelin Jones argued full prohibition was the best way forward.
In February, the district surveyed students, parents and staff members about limiting backpacks to clear ones. “This alternative does not completely fix this issue,” the district concluded, according to the FAQ.The new policy states that small purses for personal items, clear plastic bags for gym clothes and lunchboxes will still be allowed"within reason." They'll also be subject to searches, the 11-campus, K-12 district said.
