The Chandler Unified School District plans to test a new security check-in system that requires school visitors to present driver's licenses at a school's front office, then screens the information to find potential sex offenders.
The Web-based computer software, called V-soft, scans the license then cross-checks the information against several databases and can notify officials within 30 seconds if there's a match. It also prints out visitor badges.
"It scans all the major sex offender national databases," said Regina Wainwright, who helps run the district's student-safety programs.
Wainwright said the security system is being considered because of the district's ongoing review of its safety plans. She added officials want to make sure visitors continue to feel welcome at schools and that the new system does not hinder volunteers.
