BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
Hats off to the Anchorage School District! According to today's newspaper, a man had been convicted of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor in 2000 for molesting a girlfriend’s first-grade daughter on at least two occasions when left alone with the child. As a result of his crime, he is a “registered sex offender. The sex offender, owner of an asphalt business, had been sub-contracted to do work on school property.
When the superintendent was informed that the sub-contractor is a registered sex offender, she banned the man from school property. Good for her! Better safe than sorry when the safety of children is involved.
Unbelievably, the sex offender is suing the school district for $80,000 for being excluded from working on school property. Hopefully (hope springs eternal!) the court will exercise the same good judgment as the superintendent.
I’m going to check into sponsoring legislation that clarifies what registered sex offenders can and cannot do on school property.
