Crisfield School IDs contained private information

WESTOVER, MD – (AP) Somerset County schools superintendent Karen-Lee Brofee says some of the student ID cards issued last week at Crisfield High School mistakenly included the students' Social Security numbers.

The school has recalled and destroyed more than 400 IDs, including cards that did not include the private information. New cards are expected to be issued within two weeks.

Brofee says the error was a result of a human error. She says an incorrect information file sent electronically to Lifetouch Photography, the company that printed the cards. She says Lifetouch has since destroyed the file that contained the private information.

Calls to Lifetouch were not returned.
