Smart IDs (6/2/99)
FULL STORY:
Listen up students of Radford High School-HI, next school year you will
get a new student ID card. In fact the new ID cards are smart cards that
are going to be implemented by The Pathways Group. These new smart cards
will not only be for identification purposes but will also give you the
ability to purchase school lunches, concession stand items, school supplies
and other school sponsored events. The smart cards are loaded by parents,
who are effectively paying for school meals and other activities in
advance. In addition to school benefits, students will be able to earn
points each time they purchase a school meal or Coca-Cola product using
their card. Points can then be redeemed for merchandise discounts at local
participating merchants.
For more information on this program please check back with CardTrak in
the near future.
