[quote=Anonymous]I'm in MoCo, doors at the two elementaries where I have kids are locked and visitors must be buzzed in. Which is good. BUT. At one school, the office is located aross the hall, at an intersection of two hallways, meaning that it would be physically impossible for people in the office to monitor where any visitors might roam. And frankly no one pays any attention to whether parents check in, whether volunteers wear their stickers, etc. On a day when there is an event in a kids' classroom or a whole-grade event, they barely bother with the check-in process. And for afterschool activities, the doors are unlocked - meaning as soon as the last bell has run, anyone can walk into the school. Oh yes, and the school playgrounds and playing fields are not fenced, and anyone can gain access that way. Both schools have portables; I presume those are also more vulnerable. I am not outraged at the schools for these lapses, to be honest; its a huge shift in culture to treat schools like areas of potential threat. But sadly I guess we have to move in this direction.
