Most articles i've read indicate that the chips are used mostly for financial reasons. Schools get paid by how many students attend each day. The chips allow for students to register as present, even if they are skipping class.
Yes and the things with RFID its not hard for anyone to pull off information. Among other things, I think the cons far outweigh the pros
Schools have got a long forever and a day with out RFID, I think its just another invasion of property to get people accustomed to this sort of thing.........
Meh, as others have said, the cell phone in your pocket allows for more invasion than the RFID chip. The only reason it's not considered an 'invasion' is because you choose to carry it instead of being forced to carry it.
Which, by the way, the judge and the school offered to let her transfer to a school that didn't use the chips. She was fine wearing her ID, but not an ID with the chip. She was given a choice that would respect her religious beliefs (if she really was worried about it).
I guess we just wont see eye to eye. Its just an over reach.
Really we're gonna go tinfoil hat on adding a RFID to a student ID? It's not a NFC device, it must pass within inches of a scanner to be read, it's not a tracking device for the exact same reason. It has nothing to do with indoctrination.
My wifes employer utilizes mag lock security doors within the building. So does my employer. The RFID chip is embedded in her photo ID badge, I have a little fob that hangs on my keyring.
Secondary to door access she can also eat in the hospital cafeteria or any of the snack bars with her employee ID and charge it against her paycheck if he forgets to take her purse with her. Hourly employees use them to clock in and out for the day.
In my world it tells me who has accessed my server room. For HIPPA, FERPA, and Federal Free and Reduced Lunch programs compliance purposes their are strict access control requirement that allows us to have that information stored in secure areas and on servers where key personnel that have been compliance trained can still access those areas and we don't have to pay to have multiple security guards sitting in various departments keeping paper log books.
It also allows for far fewer physical keys to be distributed increasing security decreasing the difficulty of key management and reducing the costs associated with having locks rekeyed and new keys being distributed when you have a slip in key tracking and management.
Requiring students to badge in and out of classes streamlines attendance, aids in student location when they need to be found for example if they didn't badge into class but are badged into the nurses office it makes life easier for front office staff if a parent has to bring medication by in the middle of the day, it allows them to check out multi media materials and books much faster and more efficiently, and gets them through the cafeteria line faster and more efficiently. Along with allowing them to have a way of checking what they have out, what's overdue, and how much money they have left on their lunch account.
And when they get into the real world if they get into anything more complex than manual labor jobs they are going to get employee ID's with RFID chips anyway.

Which part of the ruling did you disagree with? How could the judge have acted differently?
I want my kids to get GPS locaters implanted in them so I can see their whereabouts. Who cares what my kids want.
Besides, despots and dictators in the lass century managed to exterminate 100 million plus undesirables, malcontents, and resisters without RFID, GPS, NFC, microchips or, in some cases, even widespread use of vacuum tubes.
Why worry?
