"Schools Implement Clear Backpack Policies for Safety Reasons"
TL;DR
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.
