Security at Newtown

The Editor: I want to express my utter disgust about the unfortunate incident, that happened at the Newtown Boys’ RC School Sports on Wednesday 28th May, at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. I hope that Ms Mylan would take legal action to the limit against this parent. I also hope that the staff of the school would come together and put an immediate stop to all such future incidents, whether they occur in or outside the school compound, even if it means stopping classes until measures are put in place to achieve this.

In my opinion two measures they can introduce with immediate effect are (1) to use one entrance to the school, this being one of the gates on the church side, the other two are to be kept padlocked at all times; (2) no parent/visitor be allowed to go to a class or the office, unless escorted by a guard or a teacher.
