New visitor check-in system scans IDs; board discusses plan for registered sex offenders on campus

What happened

On August 19, 2026 the board discussed a new visitor management system with photo badges, entry and exit times and camera links, with a guest system that checks IDs against criminal and sex offender databases for school-day visitors. Staff said registered offenders who are parents may take part in things like conferences under a plan approved by Mesa County probation, reviewed yearly, and that the district can deny a plan. There is no blanket ban.

This changes how adults get into the school and describes how the district handles safety plans for parents who are registered offenders.
