Dallas ISD calls the move a proactive safety measure. The district will provide the clear backpacks for free, but they say mesh backpacks are also acceptable.
On the first anniversary of the shooting in Uvalde that left 21 dead, including 19 children and two educators, plus 17 who were injured, President Joe Biden reiterated his stance on banning AR-15 firearms and assault weapons.
A clear backpack policy in schools isn’t uncommon. Following the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. that took the lives of 14 students and three adults, officials made it a requirement to carry clear backpacks for students. And with 93 reported school shootings, based on data from the National Center for Education Statistics, 2021 marked a 20-year high of mass shootings in the United States.
