"Clear Backpacks Mandated for School Safety in Multiple US States"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by New York Post

Broward County Public Schools officials announced that students will only be allowed to bring clear backpacks and bags next year, in a measure aimed at increasing school safety. The decision, which affects more than 260,000 students, comes more than five years after 17 were killed during a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The rule change will only apply to students and not staff, teachers, volunteers or visitors. Some students are not thrilled with the change, calling it an invasion of privacy. Exceptions to the rule include small non-transparent pouches for personal hygiene items, thermal food containers, and school-approved cases for either athletic or band equipment.

"Schools Implement Clear Backpack Policies for Safety Reasons"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by WPLG Local 10

Broward County Public Schools in Florida will require all students from Pre-K to 12th grade to carry only clear backpacks and bags starting from the 2023/24 school year. The new rule aims to provide a safe learning environment and serve as a deterrent to prohibited items being brought to school. Lunch boxes, purses, duffel bags, fanny packs, and any other type of bag must also be transparent, except for a few exceptions. The measure does not apply to teachers, staff, volunteers, or visitors.
