Lakewood Schools To Require students to use Clear Backpacks After Gun Incident

LAKEWOOD, NJ Patch  — Students in the Lakewood School District will be required to use clear backpacks when school starts in the fall as the district continues to look at measures to improve school safety, district officials said Wednesday evening.
Lakewood School Board Attorney Michael Inzelbuch said the district is introducing the requirement in response to the June 5 incident where a fourth-grader brought a handgun on a school bus and into school. In addition to the requirement for clear backpacks, the district will have metal detectors in all of the elementary schools by next week, he said, making it the first district in Ocean County to have them at all its schools. The high school and middle school already are equipped with metal detectors.



"We don't need to wait for any more incidents," he said. "One time is enough."

Inzelbuch told the Asbury Park Press that students who cannot afford clear backpacks will be provided with them with assistance from the schools' parent-teacher organizations. read more at Patch.com

    3. Find out which company recently bought up a closeout of clear backpacks and then you will know why suddenly a child brought a gun to school, and coincidentally this was the solution that they managed to find

  3. And then there are those pushing for us to provide a public school equivalent education.

  4. I think all the students should be required to wear clear clothes as they might hide a weapon underneath their clothes🤔.

  5. am i the only one who thinks this is ludicrous?? S/o bringing a weapon can hide it in a rolled up sweatshirt, meanwhile everyone else has to have their dirty gym clothes exposed for the world to see. Really not a solution at all.
