Manatee County Schools Lift Backpack Ban

Business

The School District of Manatee County has announced that children will be able to bring their backpacks to school again starting today, February 26. The district asked middle and high school students to refrain from bringing backpacks to school today following a chaotic week that saw more than a dozen threats to district schools, several arrests in relation to those threats and lockdowns of three of the district’s six high schools on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. There are no plans to institute another temporary ban on backpacks, however the district reserves the right to renew the measure should they deem future circumstances warrant it.
