Richland School District Two officials announced Wednesday a new program being implemented at all elementary schools in the district that determines whether visitors are sex offenders.
Officials say the computer program, entitled "New Lobby Guard," uses a touch screen and scans drivers' license information to match it with a national database of sex offenders.
According to a Wednesday press release, the machine prints a photo identification badge for visitors authorized to enter the school.
A red flag alert message is emailed instantly to front desk personnel when a banned visitor attempts to enter, district officials say.
Parents in Richland Two say it's peace of mind worth every second of their time.
"I don't have to wonder about people roaming the halls of her school," says Janet Moak.
