"Fingerprinting some school employees is acceptable — but the Palm Beach County School board draws the line at DNA.
The board unanimously voted today to reword a policy on a fledgling employee-identification program after one member objected to provisions that would have included retina scans and DNA samples as means of recording when workers are on the clock.
The school district is still implementing the program, which requires fingerprint scanning for hourly employees and part-time workers. It's been in place for about a year.
Board member Debra Robinson was most outspoken about the system."
