Notes: District 39 schools cancelled the use of fingertip-scanning devices in Highcrest Middle School and Wilmette Junior High School lunch lines after the first day of school. Officials maintain it had nothing to do with privacy concerns, and everything to do with moving the long lines of students along quickly. The district decided to use a payer-identification system similar to the one in the district's lower-level schols in which children punch in an access code and a picture of them appears on the cashier's screen. The new system gets rid of scanable cards which got lost or used by students friends.
