CNN left out a few things when they wrote "They won't be going back to a normal high school.." sorry CNN, but most of the rest of the nation went to full inclusion a long, long time ago. This is a wealthy district, it's their turn to join the rest of the nation by following the law and including the emotionally disturbed but cognitively able with mainstream placements and 1:1 aides.
My district hasn't had to go to clear backpacks, since they follow their discipline plan and move disruptors to placement review & ISS or homebound at first offense. The best thing done was security in every hallway, enforcing the rule that students are to be in their classroom learning or with the designated support team member rather than disrupting and disrespecting other learners.
