Public School Board Launches Safe Welcome Initiative

School administrators can now reject visitors from accessing schools before they ever enter the building.

The Safe Welcome program is being launched this morning
at all Elementary Schools in the Keewatin Patricia District School Board.

Shelley St. Hilaire is the Safe and Supportive Schools principal and says certain factors are keeping it out of high schools.

The program includes visitors buzzing a video intercom to speak with administrators before entering the school.
