Scanning the kids fingerprints instead of a lunchcard.

I wonder how much that cost them...how many teachers did PC school not renew for next year?

times they are a changin'.
Back in the day, if you stuck out a single finger to a school person, there was a paddlin' in yer honor.

What I want to know is how hard is it to take money in the lunchline, or swipe a card? Or punch in a number?

Jeez... now to steal a kid's lunch money, you'll have to steal their finger.

The cost to implement this system can't be that high. This technology is used in everything from laptops to locks for the house. Their old system may have been in need of replacement anyway, why not go with current technology?
