All employees must wear their district-issued ID badges at all times while on campus. Each ID badge will have an attached Alert Notification Button. These badges help keep staff safe and allow for immediate reporting of emergencies. Staff members will be trained in the appropriate use of these buttons when received.

When an employee, vendor, or non-employee (‘Cardholder’) loses or has an ID badge stolen:

1.    The Cardholder must immediately report the loss or theft to Human Resources by emailing badge@lcsd.k12.sc.us.

2.     The Cardholder must report to the Bookkeeper at their school site to report  a lost or stolen access badge. Lost or stolen badge replacements are $7 and can be purchased here. 

When an employee, vendor, or non-employee (‘Cardholder’) has a broken or defective badge:

1.      The Cardholder must email badge@lcsd.k12.sc.us, describing the issue with the badge (e.g., broken or malfunctioning) and include a photo of the back of the badge.

2.      If the badge is deemed beyond repair, Human Resources will issue a replacement badge and send it through the district courier.

It is the Cardholder’s responsibility to keep their ID badge safe and secure at all times. Loss, theft, or damage due to negligence may result in required replacement fees, as well as further actions if not reported to Human Resources immediately.

It is not necessary to notify HR of terminated or retired employees whose badges need to be deactivated. HR automatically deactivates all employees that no longer work for our district. Any old or deactivated badges can be disposed of appropriately and immediately.
