A new safety policy is in effect for students, banning backpacks, large bags, and duffel bags from classrooms. Students can still bring these items to school, but they must be stored in lockers during the day. Small purses and cross-body bags are allowed, as long as they are small.

The policy aims to promote safety and organization. The school district superintendent says this change was necessary for both safety and organizational reasons.

Further details on the policy are available, including comments from the school district superintendent and a full report from a St. Clair Shores reporter.
