Robert W. Runcie, the superintendent of Florida’s Broward County Public Schools, penned a letter to the Parkland students and families on Wednesday, announcing the new measures.
Students at the high school—where 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz allegedly killed 17 people last month—will now be required to wear clear backpacks, a step administrators hope will ward off the threat of firearms and illegal weapons on campus.
