NEISD Superintendent Sean Maika made the announcement on Thursday in a video message to parents.
The clear backpack policy went into effect in 2018 to help improve school safety, but parents have since complained that the backpacks aren’t durable and need to be replaced often.
“We heard your frustrations about the durability of the clear backpacks and will continue to listen to your concerns and ideas. Beginning next school year, students can return to traditional backpacks and bags on campus,” Maika.
The district began requiring clear backpacks at middle school and high school campuses in 2018.
