Who's coming in?

1. Cherry Rushin (2013, August 30, 2013) School installs visitor management system. The Graham Leader,

2. Category of problem: school safety

3. Level of problem: local

4. This article concerns:  The district is implementing a new security system that requires school visitors to check in at the office and scan their license or other state-issued identification card on their first visit.

5. The ID will be checked against a national sex offender database to ensure safety

6. This will affect families greatly because when it comes to their children safety is the number one concern. By having this system in play, this will allow them to see what time a visitor arrives, name and photo. When they come back, they can show ID and be checked in. This all sounds great but when you think about it, how do they know that it isn’t a student. Graham ISD doesn’t have student badges so how will they know who is who? The crime rate in Graham isn’t too bad. This policy can help but I honestly think that money could be used elsewhere.
