N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – With the police investigating whether a Fargo-Moorhead TV journalist broke any laws while reporting a story aimed at revealing holes in security at area elementary schools, questions have been raised.

Quotes from parents and relatives with children in the schools are saying it’s the schools that showed poor judgement and not the reporter. One relative quoted that, “A stranger was able to walk into their schools unimpeded, and not questioned of her motives. With a young niece in preschool and two nephews nearing school age in the Fargo area this terrifies me. This school district needs to acknowledge the obvious and make changes to protect our children.”

Locally, school security isn’t much of a problem. According to Jamestown Superintendent Robert Lech, once students arrive, their safety is the number one concern.

“After all students arrive, all entrances are locked (the HS is treated differently because of the amount of students going to CTC and Jamestown North). Any ones seeking access would request so by buzzing in, asking any questions, and may need to show identification through the camera system. Once allowed in, they are required to go to the office and formally check-in.” Lech said.

The new security at the Jamestown Public schools is “A layer of inconvenience”, but students, staff and families have been transitioning to the new security in the schools.
