MB middle school installs new screening system

Manhattan Beach Middle School is the first public school in California to install an electronic system that compares the driver's licenses of campus visitors with a sex offender database instantly. The system costs $1,500 st start up and a $400 annual fee.

According to Shelly Leachman's story in Sunday's paper:

The still-new system has been so well-received at MBMS that every other school in the district will soon have its own, with installation likely by the start of second semester, according to Janet Schwabe, deputy superintendent of Manhattan Beach Unified.
