A clear bag policy could be coming to Gwinnett County Schools as district leaders are asking for feedback while they consider more school safety measures.
Parents, students and staff are being asked to fill out a survey before next week about whether a clear bag policy for all students would be a good idea.
Some parents told Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson that a clear bag policy by itself doesn’t go far enough.

“The bag is not going to do anything for a kid who has intent,” said Valecia Jenkins, a Gwinnett County parent.
Jenkins says her 5th grade daughter was threatened by a student with a knife last month at McKendree Elementary School. She says the student had brought the knife to campus in a bag.
“She came home crying in a way that I hadn’t seen my daughter cry too many times,” said Jenkins.
The student in question was disciplined, according to a Gwinnett County Schools spokesperson.
