TARGET: Gen: Student ID Cards

[rich tabis <tabis@infonline.net>]

Happy Holidays,
        I am in a small school district which is just now looking into
assigning ID cards and numbers to students.  Presently, our students
have ID numbers which are used throughout their school career, but it is
mainly for the office.  I believe that the elementary library has
started using that same number for their patron number, but am not sure
because they just recently became automated. At the Senior High, I
assign each student a barcode number, but it is currently different from
the one used by the office.  The sup't. is looking at the possibility of
using this card for everything, even in the cafeteria instead of cash.
Does anyone out there use such a system?  I think he called it the SNAP
program.  Anyway, would you mind e-mailing me personally and telling me
about your experiences with your districtwide system and in what areas
you use the ID? Our district has about 1,300 students.  Thank-you for
your time.
