The school implemented a new bag policy last month to address safety concerns, requiring students to store their bags in lockers and giving out detentions for unattended bags. The policy aims to keep walkways clear and prevent bags from obstructing open spaces.“There were issues from a fire code standpoint, a public safety standpoint, and people’s personal and valuable items,” Ninth and Tenth Grade Dean Lenny Goldman said. “If they are just left in the open, we can’t ensure that they are left safe.”
