Doug Ahlers is the Vice President of Operations for the InCom Corporation.

Brittan Elementary School called InClass’s® wearable RFID tags “safety badges.” Does this accurately describe the purpose of the system?

No — but it does describe one of the many values the system has to offer.

The principal saw InClass® as another benefit which he could implement at the same time.
