Dr. Stephanie Elizalde, the new superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District, will hold her first news conference Tuesday to discuss safety in the district.
Elizalde is expected to start sometime after 10 a.m. Live video from the news conference will appear in the player above.
Last month, the district said clear or mesh backpacks would be required for all students in grades 6-12. The district said the decision stems from recommendations made by the district’s safety and internal task forces as well as student and parent feedback gathered earlier this month. The district will distribute clear backpacks to all students before the start of the school year.
