How the Easton school district plans to scale back its smart card program

After a tepid response from the Easton Area School Board, the district administration has scaled back the proposed implementation of its smart card ID program. Under the ScholarChip program, students would swipe their ID cards at monitors when they get on and off school buses and enter and exit their schools. A component requiring them to tap in when they enter and exit each classroom has been tabled, according to Assistant Superintendent Alyssa Emili.
