Sorry, but I appreciate this effort on the part of APS. It may eliminate kids meeting up in the bathroom, or abusing bathroom privileges. That, I assure you, is rampant. Of course, there are many kids that don’t abuse the privilege, occasionally may need to take longer, or what have you. I doubt any of this will be a problem for them.
It is an extra measure of school safety and security. I’m down.

Can someone explain how this works? Kids at my MS — which is at one of the schools listed in the article where this is happening next moth — are supposed to have phones out away in their lockers.
Maybe it's installed on their school iPad?
Yes, students can download it onto their phone (a hard "no" from me, the parent) or onto their school issued device. That means they get to take their iPad or laptop into the bathroom stall with them. Can't let it out of your control or sight for an instance in case someone else picks it up or walks away with it - even by accident - or you'll be caught without a pass!
