BATAVIA – New security measures went into effect at Batavia School District’s six elementary schools Tuesday. The system already was in place at Rotolo Middle School and Batavia High School.

“It is part of our continuous improvements to ensure the safety of our students,” said Pat Browne, the district’s director of buildings and grounds. “We are always looking at continuous improvements and evaluating where we are at.”

Visitors at all of the district’s schools must present a driver’s license or other approved identification card at the school’s office. The identification then will be cross-referenced with a database of sex offenders throughout the United States.
