Ohio County Schools Considers Expansion of ID Cards
Despite controversy within Akron, Ohio area school districts about students who receive free or reduced-price lunches by a fingerprint identification system, Ohio County Schools is examining the possibility of using the high-tech system for all students' lunches, but with careful consideration.Assistant Superintendent George Krelis said he, Superintendent Lawrence Miller, Child Nutrition Director James Freeland and Technology Coordinator James McGlumphy have discussed the fingerprint scan technology, but they also are looking into further developing the system the district currently uses, which is through the swiping of an identification card.That initiative, Krelis noted, presently applies to Wheeling Park High School, where students run an ID card through a machine at the cafeteria. Krelis added, however, that he and the administration are examining an expansion of the ID card system so students could use their cards and later receive a bill.
