Eskasoni Teachers Reject Facial Scan Tech | Calgary News

Teachers in Eskasoni First Nation are staging a fierce resistance against a new facial recognition system used for attendance, calling it an invasive breach of privacy that doesn’t work reliably and lacks transparency. The union, backed by all 123 staff members, demands a pause before the fall semester, arguing the system exposes sensitive data publicly, misidentifies employees, and was implemented without consent or meaningful consultation. While the school board defends it as a tool for efficiency and accountability, the province refuses to comment, citing local band council authority. The union is now formally challenging the system, demanding accountability and rejecting biometric scanning without safeguards.
