“Safety is critical we take that as one of our primary charges from our parents to keep our staff and students as safe as possible in our schools,” Steele Howen said.
Beginning last January, a new policy went into effect which requires all visitors and volunteers entering Albemarle County schools to be checked against the sex offender registry.
“We want to know who is in our school and so we’ve been more careful about people signing into our schools for visitors as well as our volunteers,” Howen said.
If a registered sex offender is sighted, the superintendent would be immediately notified, and local law-enforcement contacted.
