The Student Locator Project is currently being piloted at two schools. They are Jay High School and Jones Middle School, two of 112 schools in Northside ISD. The pilot will last one year after which time the data will be evaluated and decisions made about further implementation in future years.
Jay and Jones have a combined enrollment of 4,200 students (out of a projected 100,000 students in NISD). The pilot is small relative to the size of the school district. The "smart" ID cards only work within the school.
TVNL Comment: Just the start of a chipped society. Just remember that was those crazy conspiracy nuts who warned you!
