Parents at Manteo Elementary School in North Carolina are deeply concerned following a trespassing incident on November 13th. A man, Illya Stepanenko, was inside the school for 44 minutes unnoticed. This has led to a meeting with Dare County Schools leaders, who assured parents of swift action to restore trust in school safety measures. The district is implementing new security changes, including reinforced building sweeps, visitor management systems, and increased law enforcement presence. Parents will no longer be able to walk students to class, and the school is considering not allowing visitors during lunch. Superintendent Basnight emphasized that school security is a collective responsibility.
