OUR READERS WRITE. THE CNADIN CHMPIO Parent worried about strangers in schools Dear Editor: Although I've voted many times before, 1 neyer paid attention to the way the polis were set up. This year, however, was dit- ferent. i don't know if it's because I have chl- dren in schooi or whether it has more to do with the probiems of strangers around our schools. Their presence bas created a larg- er degree of awareneas about schooi secu- rity and who's coming and going. So what takes place on election day after the schoois have talked to the kids about strangers and tried t0 takes some precau- tionary measures (anyone without a name tag docan't beiong)? They open the doors of the schooi to who knows how many strangers. No won- der the children gel confused. l'm confused. Personally, 1 feut that it wasn't and isn't neceasary l'or voters to enter the main school itself to vote. i don't know abotut ail] schools, but 1 do know that most of the poils in my area werc set up in the gyms. A majority of schools have separate out- side entrances to their gyms, which is why i can't figure out why those entrances were not used. Maybe some schools were different but the ones t checked on had no one monitor- ing the halls to make sure that these people (strangers) were going straight 10 the gym and then back out immediately. I think a better set-up should be contem- plated because to me ihis ia not safe. la there a reason, for example, why people could not enter and exit the poils by the outside door and have the interior gym dooirslocked? 1 think this is something that should be thought about and considered before another election of any kind takes place. Most parents wiii agree that our children's safety is our number one priority. tan't that what voting and our future are ail about?
