Requiring ID badges to be worn and added police procedures are now the norm at Pattonville High School.
For Pattonville High School Principal Joe Dobrinic, so far so good when it comes to new security procedures in place as of the second semester. As Patch previously reported, high school students are now required to wear the ID badges they already have, as a way for staff to identify who should be in the building. Last month, the district announced the requirement after a former student was arrested while roaming the halls. The incident happened prior to the December Newtown, CT shooting which drew nationwide attention to the issue of school security. In addition to the badges, there are increased police procedures on campus. A Maryland Heights Police officer outside the building will verbally question a visitor's reason for being on campus…

The ID badge policy is not related to the Newtown shootings which left 26 people dead.
When Pattonville High School students return to class Thursday, there will be an additional security protocol in place. Students are already required to carry an ID badge at school, but beginning Thursday, they will need to wear them. The new protocol came after a former student was recently arrested for roaming the halls of the building after claiming he was there to re-enroll. The new policy was announced prior to the shooting in Newtown, CT which left 26 people, including 20 students dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The IDs will also be required of staff members in the building. A letter sent to parents last month also mentioned potential changes to enhance security measures at the school's front entrance and front desk. A district…

A former student was recently arrested while "roaming" the halls of Pattonville High School.
Effective with the start of the new semester in January, students and staff at Pattonville High School will have to wear ID. Students already have to carry an ID badge on their person. The change, which was announced to students Friday and to parents in a letter later in the day, came after Principal Joe Dobrinic said a 17 year-old former student was recently arrested at the school. In the letter to parents, Dobrinic said the former student entered the building and claimed to be re-enrolling in class. When he instead roamed the building, Dobrinic said the teen was arrested. "While no one was harmed or threatened as a result of this situation, it underscores how difficult it is without ID badges to readily identify who belongs and who …
