[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite honestly why not just pre-emptively shift to a clear backpack policy for the whole district? What would it hurt? It would provide greater clarity and transparency, create less room for contraband objects to be carried in, and be done collectively as a whole vice in reaction to events, etc. like is happening in Newport News. Just be proactive rather than reactive. I understand it might not be popular, but, I think safety should trump popularity. [/quote]

Clear backpack policies are one of those things that schools do because it makes it look like the admin is doing something without actually doing anything. It's easy for the bosses, and the burden falls entirely on kids. Demand better, like competent administration, responsive leadership, closer relationships with law enforcement, and a whole-of-school-system approach to problems. All that other symbolic crap exists to keep the gravy train rolling. [/quote]

Yes, they wouldn’t do anything.  You can put things in a pocket of clothes, sock, cell phone case, binder, folder…[/quote]
