Clear backpacks will be among the safety measures required in January at Oxford Community Schools in Michigan in reaction to a Nov. 30 school shooting that killed four students and left seven others wounded at Oxford High School.
"Safety, both physical and emotional, is at the top of our list," he told students and parents in a video posted to YouTube.
The district also will be adding additional counselors, therapists, trauma specialists, private security and therapy dogs when students return to classes Monday after their winter break.
"We want the kids in the school to have an additional source of calm and additional source of comfort," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said of the therapy dogs, according to WXYZ-TV in Detroit.
