(EAG News) Westside Community Schools have begun collecting student fingerprints for its school lunch program.
The school district has moved to a biometric identification program, saying students will no longer have to use an ID card to buy lunch.
“Students lose their ID, they left it at home, it went through the washing machine, there were all kinds of reasons why kids didn’t have an ID and it took a lot of time for them to fish it out of their pockets and holding their tray at the same time,” Diane Zipay of Westside Nutrition Services tells WOWT.
“They never lose their finger.”
