LTISD Info

The LTISD is not the only district using Raptor nor are they the only user having issues with the product. Read what some others have been saying about Raptor:

Sex offender policy flawed, parents say

School security methods go hi-tech, but at what cost to our personal freedom?

Schools turn to technology to bolster their security–but will it help?

Community Update # 16

In a follow up comment to “Privacy lawsuit brought against sex offender background checks in schools” the commenter writes:

“I recently had an occasion to be at an elementary school (not in Texas) that uses this system. I was there during the school day for a Veterans’ Day assembly. I was providing instrumental music with four other musicians. I was the last to arrive and was taken directly to the room where we were to warm up. When I got there, I realized the other four musicians had been “screened” as they had sticker badges with their names and photos on them on their lapels. But somehow I was missed? Perhaps because the others are male and I am female? All I can say is, that a high-tech system is only as good as those in charge of using it. If those using it pick and choose who to screen based on perceived risk, it is not much good at all.“

I have seen the exact thing happen that is described above. Just this last week I attended an end of year awards ceremony where every parent I saw, including myself did not have a “visitor badge” resulting from being “scanned in.” Interesting …

EXACTLY what I have been saying all along. An “arbitrarily” implemented security system is worthless! Security systems are only as effective as they are consistently implemented. Kind of like having an alarm system in your house. It’s only effective if you turn it on every time you leave your house.

The LTSID neither uniformly nor consistently implements their own policies regarding their use of Raptor!

Then isn’t it discriminatory to force Yvonne Meadows to participate when so many others are not?!

Again, the LTISD is “consistently inconsistent!”

Good job Rocky! Go out and waste some more of our tax dollars defending the districts bungled implementation of a security system.

What’s next? How is it that all of these ugly issues have not only surfaced, but have been allowed to become catastrophes?

Seems like Rocky can’t effectively manage the district.

Instead of working to address, and correct problems before they become unwieldy nightmares, Rocky would rather spend your tax dollars on lawyers and PR campaigns such as Leadership Lake Travis.

If only Rocky could learn to “contain” problems before they explode in his face.

Obviously poor management skills. Perhaps Rocky could still take advantage of his ineptitude and use his blunders as consulting material for a class on “how not” to manage. Kind of like Susan Bohn teaching about public information requests.

How many other school districts the size of the LTISD have had as many problems like this?

Go out and spend good money on a security system, then spend money defending your mismanaged implementation, yes, that’s the LTISD!

The district doesn’t seem to care, its only your tax dollars they are flushing down the toilet.
