Dallas middle school and high school students must use clear or mesh backpacks when classes start next month, district officials announced Monday.

The shift – which follows the deadly Uvalde school shooting – comes as districts work to improve campus safety nationwide.

“We acknowledge that clear or mesh backpacks alone will not eliminate safety concerns,” according to a new district webpage. “This is merely one of several steps in the district’s comprehensive plan to better ensure student and staff safety.”

The administration purchased clear backpacks for all secondary students and plans to distribute them before the start of the school year. It will cost about $800,000 to supply the bags to DISD’s roughly 70,000 middle and high school students.

Of course this would have done exactly ZERO to stop the Uvalde massacre.
