The Boone County School District strives daily to ensure the safety of your children in everything we do. In our continued efforts, we are excited to begin the rollout of the new ZPass student ridership program. This tool will aid the school district and parents in quickly locating students and will provide transportation with real time rosters for each bus. This program will be offered to all elementary school students and students grades 6-12 who use special transportation.
How does the card work? Each Zpass card contains a passive RFID chip which is assigned a unique identifier when the card is issued to the student. When the card is tapped on the scanner, the RFID is activated and automatically logs their entry or exit time and location. The card does not offer any capability to track a student - it merely tells us when and where a student scanned the card on and off of the bus. Parents can download the My View Parent App and choose to receive information instantly and securely regarding when their child boarded or exited a bus.
What happens if my child loses their card? Students without cards will still be permitted to board the bus. If the card is lost or damaged, a new card can be requested by notifying your child’s school. If the card was recently lost, we ask that you look for one day before reporting the card as lost. If it is still lost after that time, please notify the school and a new card will be issued. If a lost card is found please return it to school for discarding.
What information is stored on the card? The only information that is stored on the ZPass card is the unique identifier that is only meaningful to the ZPass program. A lost or stolen ZPass card does not put sensitive student information at risk. Parents will only have access to their student’s information. Under our terms with the company providing this technology, all student information is protected.
May I opt out of this program? Yes. If you do not wish to participate in this program you will need to complete the opt out form for each child in your household. Parents can access the opt out form by visiting the front office at the school and requesting the form, by calling the school and asking for a form to be sent home with their child(ren), via a link to print the form on the transportation page on the district website, by calling the transportation department directly at 859-384-5340 to request it be emailed directly to them, by sending an email request to Transportation@boone.kyschools.us, by using the QR below or by accessing the link below.
