A California school district is using GPS devices to keep tabs on students who have a penchant for skipping classes.

It also contains a sim card so it can receive calls from a number of pre-programmed phone numbers.

"As a soldier I always think about situations on the ground and practical solutions. The radio system wasn't that good for soldiers on the ground when I was in the Army and it got me thinking about GPS, which means you always know where everyone is," the Scotsman quoted him as saying.
