Hoover Schools Develop Proactive Security Plan Against Sex Offenders
HOOVER, Ala. – Hoover school officials are preparing to launch a security plan where visitors will now have to swipe their driver’s license through a machine to see if they have been convicted of a sex crime.
Green Valley and Shade Mountain elementary schools and Berry Middle School will test the program for two to four weeks. If all goes well, a decision will be made as to whether all Hoover schools will implement the program.
School secretaries will check driver’s licenses during the testing period. They will look on sex offender databases to determine a match. So far, school officials do not have a protocol if they do indeed get a positive match.
Hoover police Lt. Maurice Canady said the plan is a “proactive security measure.” He states there have not been problems in Hoover schools regarding sex offenders.
Initially, the program will cost $1,500 per school during the first year. For subsequent years, the price should be $400 per school.
