Sorry to burst your bubble - I don’t work for the schools and never have. I’m not a member of their union and I don’t work for a union.
If you read my comments, you would already have seen that I have a kid in school and I know how the process works and I sincerely appreciate the process. I filled out the information for who is allowed to have access to my child and who is able to pick him up - just like every other parent did in school.
I’ve already had to change the information several times now and one time I was concerned about what might happened in just the next 12 hours following the change - and I expected them to check every single person so that no one would “accidentally” pick up the wrong kid.
You’ll find that this is a parent issue in that they don’t want anyone to have “access” to their child other than who they have specified - and - they don’t want their child to be “handed off” to anyone other than who they have specified.
And this is exactly how you do that.
No....you're the one who still doesn't get it! By opening the door before seeing who they're letting in - the school is giving access to your child, as well as the other children, to anyone that they buzz in! A criminal isn't going to stop and sign the "magic paper". They're going to just go and get the kid they want - paper be damned.
