"\[The ACLU\] publicly challenged the school district in a statement to media outlets stating that it has filed a public records request seeking more information about the district’s decision to \[a firm\] to track student attendance and tardiness by having students place their fingers on a biometric scanner."

So many questions: how anyone thought this was a good idea to begin with; how the data is stored and processed; whether this is legal; what the software company providing this platform could possibly be thinking. Nipping this in the bud feels like a good idea. [#Technology](https://werd.io/tag/Technology)
