[quote=Anonymous][quote]Safety is a top priority.
And now, my complaints:
1. How much money have they set aside to do this? My kid is in a class with almost 35 kids. FCPS couldn't afford to fully staff elementary schools just a few months ago, but now they can afford to pay for a fingerprint background check for thousands of parents? When parents already scan their license for names to get checked against a sex offender registry. What other offenses is FCPS looking for, and what are they going to find that really prevents crimes against students? Basically, it seems like it will be a huge amount of money for not a lot of payoff.
2. How many volunteers will schools lose when people won't be willing or able to do this? Will schools get enough volunteers willing to do the process in order to do the regular things the school usually does, like book fair, field trips, etc., or will teachers and IAs have to fill in the gaps on those fun experiences?
3. What about parents who might not want someone taking their fingerprints and information in the current political climate?
4. FCPS emails are touting this as something that is going to enhance family-school partnerships or deepen relationships between schools and families. It's going to do the opposite.[/quote]

1.  I don't know.
2. Many.  Too much trouble for a one time or occasional volunteer.  This 
3. Only the paranoid would be affected by that.  That is BS.
4. More Reid spin.
