UNIVERSITY (Next to the Hilton) 846-6823 DALLAS (AP) — About 2,000 people, 12 percent of them stu dents, have been registered by the state under a new law de signed to inform school districts when a sex offender is living nearby, The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday. Statewide, 258 sex offenders listed their occupation as student of either elementary, junior high or high schools. State law requires students to be placed in an alternative school and then returned to regular classrooms. But state officials be lieve many school districts may be unaware of the sex offenders in their classrooms. The existence of sex offenders in school first drew attention in Plano when high school football star Rashad Gunn was found to have pleaded guilty to the sexual assault of a teen-ager in Garland in December 1995. His offense was unknown to school officials, who faulted a lack of information sharing between po lice and the school district. “It’s just like everybody says Gunn is a quirk in the system. He is the system,” said state Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, and the author of sex offender registration reforms. ► This day in history (AP) — Today is Friday, the 327th day of 1996. ft 39 days left in the year.
