With school starting tomorrow, Bartholomew Consolidated Schools are updating parents on new security measures and procedures that are being added to schools.
The changes are based on a survey of security procedures done by a consultant hired by the district and by parent suggestions.
Superintendent Dr. Jim Roberts says that all entry to schools will be restricted to a single entry point and schools will be issuing badges to adults in the school building, including staff, substitute teachers and visitors.
Roberts explains that a vetting process will be in place by Aug. 24th.
During recent school board meetings, several parents have suggested metal detectors as a screening device . In a BCSC video, Roberts said the district is not ready to take that step.
