A NEW search tool on the Web site of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office makes it easy to find sex offenders living near schools, but Kingston school district Superintendent Gerard Gretzinger says the information isn't necessarily cause for concern.
In late February, the Sheriff's Office linked its Web site to a municipal sex offender registry, allowing citizens to type in any address in the county and come up with a map that shows the addresses of all registered sex offenders living within a 1-mile radius.
Whenever a sex offender moves in near a school, the school district alerts the school's principal and safety officer, Gretzinger said.
"At least we're aware," he said. "That's really the best we can do."
