I'd normally suggest actually walking into the district office because it's harder to ignore an actual human standing in front of you, but the pandemic makes that option less desirable.
Again, districts may vary considerably. I'm familiar with:
- a locked school district office building,
- visitor must have an appointment,
- visitor rings the doorbell and waits for intercom reply,
- visitor states their appointment and waits for verification of appointment and confirmation of visual identification via security camera,
- door may then be unlocked to admit identified visitor with verified appointment.
Possibly this process acknowledges that it would be harder for district personnel to ignore an actual human standing in front of them, therefore policy and procedure have been established to keep district personnel in control of any potential in-person interactions.
