WCHS Staff cite safety, identification in ID card decision

Change isn't always welcomed, and to some students at Warsaw Community High School, it is downright resented. Judging by recent letters to the editor of the Times-Union, this year's requirement for WCHS students to wear their identification cards at all times while they're at school is not a popular one.A letter by Staci Wright in Tuesday's edition complained about students having to "show off their horrible school pictures," and one in Thursday's paper by Tim McKinley said that wearing the IDs is "an excessive display of unnecessary security, which also undermines the social self-confidence of the students." Letters aside, school officials have received few official complaints from students, and none from parents, said assistant principal Dr.Jennifer Brumfield. "The only comments we've gotten from parents are positive" because parents know the school has security in mind, she said earlier this week.
