Lincoln Public Schools (LPS) Regulation 6412.1, requires all high school students to visually display their official LPS student photo identification (ID) cards.
The visibly displayed ID cards will add another dimension of safety and security to help identify
students who are associated with each school. The ID cards are also used as an automated way for students to pay for their school lunches. Additionally, the ID cards will help to build positive relationships between students and staff at larger schools where staff members do not always have the opportunity to know every student’s name.
Students will be required to wear their school ID cards at all times in school. This practice will require that students will have to move their ID cards from their pockets, wallets, or purses, to school issued break-away lanyards worn around their necks. Appropriate adjustments will be made when students are in certain specific courses such as physical education, industrial arts, etc.
If a student forgets to bring the ID card to school, he or she will be given an opportunity to receive a temporary or a permanent ID replacement card. There will be no cost to the students for these initial ID cards and lanyards. Students will be assessed a fee for replacement and temporary
ID cards and/or lanyards.
