DENVER — The Cherry Creek School District is rolling out a new program so parents can check to make sure their children made it to school safely.
As part of the new program, every single student in the district will be given a RFID card. That card will be scanned every single time students get on and off a school bus.
For second grader Eli Kim, this is an exciting time. He’s been riding the school bus for a year now. The nerves his mom once felt standing at his bus stop waiting for him to get on and eventually get off are now mostly gone — the new card technology only helping rid her of that feeling more.
“I think that I’m really just thankful that the district values the safety of our students,” Jeanne Kim said.
