Police escort for teachers in Queensland town to schoolSUPPLIED Police are offering to escort teachers to school in Aurukun in far north Queensland. "Teachers will notify when they're travelling between residences, around the community, to and from school," teachers union president Kevin Bates said. The local Queensland Teachers Union members agreed on Sunday the school would remain open, but a new safety regime would be put in place. Police will now provide security escorts for teachers, a plan endorsed by Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart. Police will provide security escorts for teachers in a remote Australian community after a school principal was carjacked and threatened with weapons for the second time in two weeks.
