More North Texas school districts are requiring clear backpacks.
At Mesquite ISD, the new policy already led to a gun being found on campus. District leaders said a 17-year-old showed up at Horn High School on Monday without a clear bag. His bag was placed in a holding area until a clear one could be provided.
During this time a staffer reported the student began acting suspicious so his bag was searched and a firearm was found. The district did not say if the gun was loaded. The student was arrested and no one was hurt.
