ODESSA -- E.C.I.S.D. is seeing a lot of success in keeping sex offenders away from district schools.
E.C.I.S.D. installed the Hall Pass Visitor Management System at all their campuses two months ago. Now, visitors have to swipe a drivers license when they show up on campus. The system then looks at international and state sex offender databases to see if the visitor is listed anywhere. If the visitor is listed, campus police and the school principal get an alert.
So far, E.C.I.S.D. has caught 4 sex offenders on campus because of the system. Big 2 has learned that those people were not allowed to see students they were trying to get in touch with -- since they weren't listed on information cards the students' parents filled out at the start of the year.
