The president of the Eskasoni Teachers' Union says he's happy the local school board has stopped using facial recognition technology to track teacher attendance.
Cox said members have no issues with their attendance being tracked.
"They felt it was necessary to begin tracking attendance and to deal with whatever issues they were aware of," said Cox.
The Eskasoni School Board did not respond to a request from CBC News for comment.
Under the Mi'kmaq Education Act, Eskasoni's band council controls its school board.
