ECTOR COUNTY, Texas — The Ector County School District is showing off their newest addition to campuses to keep kids safe this year.
The system is called "Hall Pass," and the district has been using it to keep track of visitors, but it will now be used to track volunteers who aid in campus activities.
Hall Pass will run criminal history background checks on all volunteers on a ECISD campus to make sure students and staff are safe. It will also make the check in and out process easier for the volunteers.
Visitors to school, such as parents or guardians, also check in through Hall Pass but aren’t subject to the system’s background check.
