School ID’s grow in popularity

Identification badges for high school students are showing up in our urban schools and could be spreading to smaller districts, in efforts to keep high school buildings safe. Executive director Jim King with the state association of secondary school principals says technology is letting schools create the badges quickly and have pictures available for other school purposes, too. King says ID badges are one way school administrators are able to control who comes into school buildings, and keep track of them when they’re inside.
