Well, I picked up kids this school year for a friend... from an elementary school ... they didn't ask for an ID. I just went in the office and told the lady at the desk that I needed these 3 kids. I had a note from the mom but they didn't ask for an ID.

And I dunno if this law is supposed to apply to high schools or not, but I picked up Myranda early several times and was never asked for an ID. This was why I said I was already concerned about the issue. I would sign the sheet to take her out and they would send me back out to my vehicle and send a student to the classroom to remove her from class. She did not need to go by the office after I signed her out.

It concerned me because I was thinking anyone who looked old enough could walk in and get any student out of school. Seemed to me a truancy issue possibly. But, they did things that way here both the years Myranda was in school here.

That is a good question. I don't know about how the high schools work. My experience is with the elementary level. If the pick up occured at the end of the day, we never even saw the parents. Kids often walked home independently. However, anyone removing a student from class during the school day was required to verify ID and sign out the student, they also usually waited in the main office on the couch for the kiddo.

On 9/11, the principal went door to door along the hallways telling teachers to lock the doors to our classrooms cuz parents were lined up out of the school doors wanting to pick their kids up from school at 9:00am. Parents were turned away who did not have ID in hand. We had a lot of ticked off parents that day.
