Securing the Schoolyard - Megan Roth Contributor
Yesterday I discussed the need for increased security measures concerning school visitors. As pointed out in my post, it’s completely necessary in order to ensure student safety (which can never be 100% guaranteed, but we can do our best to come close to a guarantee).
Now what about school faculty and staff? Should they be required to wear an ID? Say the answer is "Yes, they should." Does that ID really do much in the way of improving safety? Should teachers be allowed to come and go as they please, through whatever entrance/exit they please?

Changes coming for students this school year
First, we are requiring that all (ninth-, 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade) students wear their identification badges throughout the academic day this school year. The staff at our school is required to wear ID badges during working hours also.
This is mainly a safety and security effort on our part. As our numbers have increased over the years, it has become harder for our staff to recognize our students as readily as they could when the student population was half of what it is today.

ID applications that scare the public
The identification industry had a wakeup call in 2005 when parents protested the use of RFID tags in student ID badges at Brittan Elementary School in Sutter, Calif.
RFID tags were used to take attendance at the school when the children walked in the door. The plan was to eventually place scanners around the school to monitor student movement throughout the day. But it didn’t get that far.
Parents rallied against the system, and legislation is still pending in the California legislature to impose restrictions on ID technologies that communicate via radio frequency waves.

School ID badges anger parents
Students in a small rural town in California are now required to wear radio-frequency ID badges in school. Many parents are outraged by the new system, and have told their children not to wear the badges.
Brittan Elementary School in Sutter, CA, introduced the badge system on January 18. Each student must wear the ID card, which includes their photo, name and grade. A wireless transmitter beams their ID number to a teacher’s handheld computer when they walk through the doorway. A similar device is used to track livestock. View story
