To track attendance and avoid losing state funding, some school districts have begun electronically monitoring students' whereabouts. Two San Antonio schools have added electronic chips to student ID cards, while some in Austin have issued students phones with GPS systems.

Cameras in the schools in every room and hall way and corn of the building would be a good start and do away with unions and pension plans that tax payers can not afford. Vouchers for parents to give the parents the choice who will educate there children. This will make the change our children need. No More government in our schools.
