The Tamaqua Area School District plans to change its point-of-sale system, effective this coming school year.
Superintendent Ray Kinder told the school board that the district plans to change the system to a numeric code for students. With the new system, students will get a four- to six-digit number, and after their food is rung up, they will enter in their code.
Kinder said the change will result in a more effective way for the district to get through its current consistency and reliability issues with the scanning in the cafeteria.
The Primero system will cost the district about $8,400. However, Kinder said breakfast and lunch costs will remain the same for the 2016-17 school year.
