Visitors will soon have to show identification and undergo a background check to enter school buildings as part of changes being implemented by the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp.
The BCSC school board on Monday received an update from Superintendent Jim Roberts on the implementation of steps involving safety and security that are scheduled to be completed soon.
Roberts told the board that Northside Middle School piloted a background check management system known as Safe Visitor last week that will be in place at all school buildings by Friday. That will require visitors to show identification such as a driver’s license that will be run to determine whether an individual is a sex offender, Roberts said.
Columbus North High School also has the system in place, Roberts said.
