In an ongoing effort to foster safer schools, Dallas ISD is expanding its clear backpack requirement to all students in grades pre-K through 12 for the 2024-2025 school year.
While clear backpacks are preferred, mesh ones are an additional option. Students may still carry a small, non-clear pouch in their backpack to hold personal items such as cellphones, money, and hygiene products.
The district will provide each student with a durable clear backpack at no cost. Parents may also purchase their students’ preferred clear or acceptable mesh backpack.
Please note that a clear backpack policy alone does not ensure complete security. As a reminder, Dallas ISD’s Comprehensive Safety Plan is available at dallasisd.org/safety. We encourage everyone to visit the district’s website and social media channels for the latest updates.
