A second school district in Michigan has announced it would not allow students to use backpacks to carry their books as they can also be used to conceal firearms and weapons.
A second school district
The decision to ban backpacks came after Flint Community Schools Superintendent Kevelin Jones announced last month that the district would also be barring backpacks starting May 1. Larry Johnson, executive director of public safety and school security, added:"We have averted at least two tragedies in the last two weeks. We don’t want to stand before you again."In Flint, students are allowed to carry belongings in small purses or clear plastic bags. All bags are subject to being searched.
He added:"As a district, we are taking a 360-degree approach to create safe spaces for children’s academic journeys. To that end, we have reached a point where we must make difficult decisions and ask our school community to demonstrate flexibility, understanding and a shared sense of urgency when it comes to safety."
"Backpacks make it easier for students to hide weapons, which can be disassembled and harder to identify or hidden in pockets, inside books or under other items," he continued.
