Board declines to adopt universal student ID policy after data‑security and cost concerns

District staff and a vendor presented a proposed K–12 universal student ID policy that would issue one district card to students for transportation, food service and future campus access. Staff described operational benefits—bus badging and push notifications to parents, improved transportation manifests for Medicaid reimbursement of therapy transports, and integration with routing and parent‑tracking apps—and outlined funding sources (stop‑arm camera violation revenue and food‑service funds).
