Fairfax School District

Fairfax County Public Schools, the 10th largest school division in the U.S., has partnered with ScholarChip to help improve Campus Safety. FCPS employs our Visitor Management system. A Visitor Management station is installed at every school throughout the district. With this system, FCPS can confirm the identity of any school visitor wanting access to the building. This includes a sex offender background check, time-stamping their arrival and departure, printing their name, destination and photo on an ID badge while they are in the building. FCPS can also verify if a visitor has authorization to remove a student during the school day. The system can also issue late or tardy passes to students.

​

FCPS serves a diverse student population of more than 189,000 students in Pre-K through 12 grades. Nearly 93% of FCPS students graduate on time. Fairfax County high schools are recognized annually by the Washington Post as being among the most challenging high schools in the U.S.

Kingsborough Community College

Kingsborough Community College (KBCC) needed ScholarChip’s Identity Management for their large student body, including a K-12 high school located on campus. KBCC uses turnstiles for Building Attendance and now students tap their ScholarChip One Card to pass through. If they are not enrolled, admittance is rejected. The One Card is our smart ID card and is also used for Campus Safety, enabling card holders to unlock secure doors, providing they have certain authorizations via the management website. Smart Forms are used throughout KBCC, students and staff can tap their card and all their contact information is submitted. It’s great for quick applications, signing up for an event, sports, etc.
