Roberts Passes Off Responsibility
Adult Male Inside Girl's Washroom at SD23 School
When reactiong to a male offering chocolate to a young student inside a girls washroom, School District 23 Superintendent Mike Roberts passes off the responsibility of school security to elementary children..What else would parents expect from Roberts!
Roberts is quoted .."It's just not possible to lock all doors all the time." the student reacted appropriately and did what she was taught to do in such circumstances." "We're redoing our training with elementary kids in terms of how to deal with strangers."
It has been found that the school district keeps no record of who has hundreds of keys to school property. Up to a few years ago Staff ID Tags were not even provided.
Businesses for years have been able to lock all doors and to track all who entered..with today's relatively inexpensive technologies available why can't the school district secure its buildings?
Astonishing..Roberts adds that .."even if the school could lock down its premisses during school hours that wouldn't solve the problem as strangers can approach kids when they are not in school as well."
Roberts continues to deflect and deny the school district's lack of protection for young children in it's buildings.

Roberts should at least ensure that signs have graffiti removed.
