Got off the phone with Austin yesterday. I had a question about buying and using using blank FD-258 FBI fingerprint cards and adding the ORI codes in. I was told it wouldn't be worth buying FBI cards as they are getting ready to go to transmitted fingerprints as soon as they can. This will put an end to classroom fingerprinting and require student to see IBT or such for the electronic fingerprints. I had been told about this by a high ranking HPD offical, that's in the loop on fingerprinting with the state, and yesterday seems to confirm this. I have not heard about a time line, but I was told it would not be worth ordering a stock of blank cards. Also after the first they will still supply packages until the supply is exhausted. Just didn't know about any cost. If you take a look at all the copies it would still be worth the current cost just for that reason, let alone the time of making the packages. One of the things I have decided to do is offer a CD of the manual and other information they see in class, plus some of the Dispute Resolution Acronyms and info and give them a choice of the book or CD and still have the manual in the classroom for use. That's 34 copies at .16 cents a page for double sided copies.
