RENO, Nev. (AP) - Northern Nevada school district officials are moving forward with a proposed visitor management system that would require visitors to have their driver’s licenses scanned before they are allowed to enter school campuses.
KTVN-TV reports Washoe County School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on the idea Tuesday.
James Hendrickson, emergency manager for the district says, the scanner will read visitors’ driver’s licenses, run a quick check and then give clearance to enter.
He says the system will look at three data sets, including sex offender databases, and will be able to tell if person has been restricted from Washoe County schools due to a previous trespass incident or if they have any child custody orders in place.
The district has awarded a $390,000 contract for the project to Lobby Guard.
