Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is updating security measures across the district.
In a meeting Tuesday, school officials announced clear backpacks are on their way to two schools to test how they work. Hopewell High School and Cochrane Collegiate Academy will be those first schools.
Superintendent Earnest Winston hopes the backpacks will make schools safer. Video captured a fight at Hopewell in November and showed a gun sliding across the floor inside the school. As of March 2, Channel 9²s records show so far, 26 guns have been found at CMS schools this year.
