New School Security Will ID Sex Offenders

Schools hope to soon use a system known as Lobby Guard. It is being used at the district office and will soon be installed in four schools.

Anyone entering the buildings gets their driver’s license scanned, and the system has the ability of making sure those signing in aren't on the sex offender registry or presenting an invalid license.

"It would mark void, and that sends us a message. If something comes out, void will come up," said Metro Nashville Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Ralph Thompson.

"We value all of our children. We value all of our staff members, and we’re going to do whatever we can to make people feel safe and to keep out those that are unsafe to our environment," he said.
