A California school district is taking new measures to combat truancy – GPS. The Anaheim Union High School District is handing out GPS devices to problem students, who are then required to check in during the day to make sure they are exactly where they are supposed to be.

There are about 75 kids enrolled in the initial GPS program, from the seventh and eighth grade district population. Instead of receiving detentions or prosecutions for their tardiness, students are instead given a new gadget, although it does come with a number of conditions. Students have to check in five times per day with the device; when they leave for school in the morning, when they arrive at school, lunchtime, when they leave school, and at 8PM every day.
