While some students are quick to write off the new policy, it has been put into place to protect them. Regardless of the school having over 30 doors, there have been incidents of students allowing people who don't attend Eldo into the school. Vice Principal Butler had this to say about the issue, “Generally speaking, when they’re here [on campus] and they don’t belong here, they’re not here for good reasons.” He went on to explain that having students wear their ID’s will help administration find those who should not be on campus leave to keep students safe. Complimentary lanyards will be distributed to students at a later date. Each grade level will have to wear a lanyard with their assigned color: 9th grade will wear gold, 10th will wear gray, 11th will wear maroon, and 12th graders will wear black. Though students must wear the assigned color of their grade level, they will be able to customize their lanyards as long as administration is still able to see the original color of the lanyard. However, if a student decides not to wear their lanyard, Vice Principal Mr. Butler advises, “It will be handled [with] basic, simple disciplinary at first… but if they absolutely refuse to wear it, it will be progressive discipline just like everything else.” Students who have lost their ID card will now be able to get a replacement for five dollars from Eldorado’s new and personal ID card printer. “It seems a bit odd, but honestly, it is for our safety.” While many might see this as an unnecessary policy, it's meant to protect. By ensuring only registered students of Eldorado are on campus, staff and administration can give their full attention to things that demand it.
