UNIVERSAL STUDENT ID BADGES:

AN UPDATE

As detailed in a previous issue of TIME, the District is in the process of
implementing District-wide universal student ID badges for the School
Year 23-24. All schools have received two Zebra badge printers plus the
accompanying supplies and accessories needed to provide every student with
a badge.

Badges are printed through SIS, ensuring the latest student information is
available, as well as reducing the need to provide data integrations to third-
party badge systems. The primary use cases are for school cafeterias, bus
ridership, media center materials, and campus safety and security. Other
individual school uses for barcodes, such as attendance, tardy, parent pick-
up, etc. are supported, but out of the scope for this project.

The HUB site containing FAQs, training materials, how-to guides, and
troubleshooting support is up-to-date and available for schools to use. Efforts
to support schools experiencing issues or problems over the summer have
been ongoing and continue past the start of school.

The IT PMO team, in cooperation with all the various stakeholders, is pleased
to move this long-standing desired functionality from the District wish list to
reality. Many thanks to the Chief Operating Office, Transportation, School
Food Service, Library Media, Purchasing, Treasury, Budget and many other
staff and departments required to bring this to fruition!
