No. Clear backpacks are not required.

The focus for middle school students will be on the construction of a new middle school in Duncanville after the completion of the new high school. The timeline for the new middle school will depend upon the completion of the high school and the achievement of enrollment goals. We are assessing what updates may be made to the Oak Cliff secondary campus.

We currently have elementary and/or middle schools in Oak Cliff, Mountain Creek, Cedar Hill, and Innovation Academy. When we looked at the home addresses of our current students, the Duncanville property was centrally located to each of those campuses – providing a convenient pathway for Life School families at each of these campuses.

The new high school and middle school construction will not impact the current elementary building. However, we are exploring options that may reduce middle school use of the elementary building, which could provide more space for the elementary campus.
