Back To School 2022 For Dallas ISD

Back to school 2022 is in full force this morning as most Dallas Independent School District students return to the classroom.

Among changes expected this year, students in grades six and up, are required to have clear backpacks. This is after the tragic response to the Uvalde school shooting last May.

That event led to copy cat threats at Berkner High School in Richardson and at Pinkston High School in Dallas.

National experts have called the move security theater and it appears to have drawn widespread criticism for first year Dallas Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde.

Dallas Independent School District mandated clear backpacks for students starting in grades six.

From the article: “It comes across as a knee-jerk reaction to make people feel as though something is being done,” said Jaclyn Schildkraut, associate professor of criminal justice at the State University of New York at Oswego. “But it’s really not going to do what people think it’s going to do, and it’s sending the wrong message.”

DISD says it will distribute free clear backpacks to students before the school year. DISD says the decision came from recommendations from an internal safety task force.
