In case you don’t get the “breakfast stick” reference: “Texas: In-School Suspension Program” Uses GPS Tracking Systems Attached to Students.
Via: Chronicle Telegram:
For lunch Monday, Elyria High School served up pepperoni pizza to the students who came back for the first day of classes.
But instead of students handing over cash, some placed their index fingers on small scanners and walked away with their lunches.
“I’m just really glad I don’t have to remember a number every
day or have a card or something,” said 14-year-old Korey Gallaher. “All
you have to do is put your finger down and go.”
With the start of the new school year well under way at the high
school, a new lunch system is being piloted that will use student
fingerprints instead of cards or personal identification numbers to
access lunch accounts.
“As long as there is money in my account, I won’t have to worry
about anything,” said 14-year-old Stephanie Nieves. “It’s going to make
lunch that much easier.”
…
“When it’s really up and running it will make things go a lot
smoother and faster,” said Bill Jett, general manager of Sodexo, the
district’s food service provider.
At a cost of roughly $91,000, Sodexo will pick up the tab to
implement the program districtwide with the hope of recouping expenses
over the next five years as more parents sign their children up for
free or reduced lunches. The added advantage of the biometrics system
is no one knows who receives free or reduced lunch or who has to pay
for their meals.
There are still a few kinks to work out with the system as the
small scanners located near all cash registers failed to recognize some
fingerprints, prompting students to revert back to the old system of
keying in personal identification codes.
Still, for those who used the new system, it was pretty cool.
“The technology is already out there for us to use biometrics in
a number of ways,” said Principal Darren Conley. “In the future, we are
looking at adding it to the media center for signing materials out or
in the classrooms for attendance.”
Conley and the entire student body and teaching staff have a lot of other things to look forward to in the future.
