• CLEAR BACKPACKS PROCEDURE 

    FOR KISD STUDENTS



  • In an effort to enhance the safety measures currently in place, Killeen ISD requires students to use clear backpacks for elementary students and clear or mesh backpacks for middle and high school students. Students participating in an extracurricular activity are permitted to carry non-transparent bags to store items pertaining to their particular activity (i.e. band, athletics, etc.). Upon entry into the school, all extracurricular activity bags must be stored in lockers or designated areas. All bags are subject to search. Additionally, the maximum size for non-transparent bags that students will be permitted to carry during the school day, such as lunch boxes/kits, pencil bags, and purses, will be 6” x 9”.
