In the letter sent to the parents on April 27, the authorities stated that the students who wear backpacks will have their belongings taken at the entrance. It has been announced that the parents will be called to receive the backpacks.
Kevelin Jones, Principal of Flint Public Schools, announced that small wallets for personal items, plastic bags for clothes and lunch boxes will be allowed. However, it was emphasized that these bags will also be searched.
"Menacing behavior and the introduction of prohibited items such as guns have increased in every school across the country," said Principal Jones: Backpacks make it easy for students to store weapons inside books or under other items. Jones emphasized that transparent backpacks do not completely eliminate the security vulnerability and that is why they are banned:
By completely banning backpacks and increasing security across the region, we can better control what is brought into our schools.
