School Gate Guardian
Central York School District uses a visitor management software program at each of its schools. Verkada Visitor Management requires all visitors to present a valid driver's license or other state-issued identification upon arrival at the door. An electronic background check will be performed including:
- Registered sex offender search
- Custody issue alerts
- Restraining order warnings
- Protection from abuse order checks
Visitors who have the all-clear will receive a printed ID badge that includes their photo and name. The badge is self-expiring, meaning within 12 hours of receipt a red stop sign will bleed through to the front of the badge so it cannot be reused. The process to scan an ID, run the check and print a badge takes about 30 seconds to complete.
