School volunteers need to get police check

Beachy Cove Elementary in Portugal Cove-St. Philip's is requiring a police check for all volunteers at the school. Um, yeah. So, why isn't that being done at every school? I say bravo to Principal Aubrey Dawe.

I couldn't believe that was newsworthy -- it is required at many schools in the province.

From what I heard on the radio, most schools require certain volunteers to have a police check, depending on closely they work with students. They are apparently rated, with volunteers not having anything to do with the kids as low, and the ones who deal directly with the kids as high. Having everyone get a check is the big "news" here, I believe.
