Using student IDs now in cafeteria to purchase food?

[Anonymous]

Someone thought it would be a good idea to eliminate the pins for the cafeteria and now have students using their student ID to purchase food. That’s right, the student ID that you can easily look up within the FCPS system and that are used in their school emails. So now anyone can use our account. Wtf? Whose dumb idea was this?

You have to assume when they punch in their number, their picture pops up on a screen.

Who do you think is going to be abusing your kid's account to buy a school lunch?

This is crazy. So after type in “friend’s” name in email and get their student ID number (that part takes less than one second to do), can have 10 kids all order off of same # in line… Does it only work if $ in a MySchoolBucks account? Or can kids now run up a tab?

I wonder if they even check if the ID a kid uses matches the school they are at.

At my kid's school, each kid just has to say their name to get food. That's the way it always has been. I've never seen any random charges from that.

Is this an FCPS? They had to type in a 4 number code last year to match with their lunch account.

Their friends as pranks. Not their friends because they can. If argument back is these are all wonderful kids then why is FCPS putting weapons checks in all schools? And if want to argue ok but not my kid’s school because it’s a top ranked school, weapons going into TJ this year too. Kids make strong choices in all schools.

This is the craziest thread I've read in a while. Why would 10 kids try to order off the same number? Are Fairfax lunches that good? Plus if a kid can't afford the school lunch, they'll get it for free anyway. The family just has to fill out a form to get it for free.

So this year it’s too hard for kids to remember a 4 digit code so now they need to remember a 7 digit code? Is this to accelerate math in ES so more are easy for algebra in MS?

FCPS has really fallen. Time to move to another county.
