They say that, but it doesn't actually happen. Just another random rule that admin/teachers are expected to enforce, without any meaningful consequences. It's how MCPS works.

Wait until Will Jwando hears about this -he will get things right........

This is usually the threat, at all high schools, for non-payment of fees. Not sure if it's ever enforced, though.

No it is not . Very inequitable.

Can you imagine the headline. Students denied graduation over an overdue library book or a $5 fee.

It happens. It doesn’t make headlines, but it does occur.

And can you imagine being so irresponsible that you can’t even pay back $5.00 or return an overdue library book. And don’t tell me a single student in the county can’t afford to pay back five dollars. That’s a Starbucks drink, a fast food order.

With the BCC kids passing out in the bathrooms or jacking cars during lunch break I guess it's probably for the best.

The ID checks at the door are NOT new. If the article says that, it is wrong. As others stated earlier, the only new thing is what happens when a kid forgets their picture id. Before today, they could go to the front desk and get a temporary one, which didn't have a photo. As of today, they have to get a new picture one at the front desk and pay $5 for it. That is the only new thing. No impact -- none -- on staffing at the door

No staffing up needed because these ID checks aren’t new. MoCo Show needs something to write about. This change is only relevant to BCC students and not actual news!

It appears the school itself is stating it as if it is new based on what I read in the article

Well, the good news is they have access to their ID's on their phone. Surely they will not forget their phones. Great idea.

+1. BCC has had problems with BCC students not outsiders. This doesn't help at all.

They have no way of making kids pay the $5.
