We will be delivering your ID access card AFTER the building has been upgraded with the new access card system. (Your new ID access card will be programmed to allow you access to the building.) This project is in process and the new ID access cards will be rolled out from now until early 2024. Your new ID access card will be delivered to the building where you took your photo. We cannot provide an exact date on which you will receive your ID access card. However, your card will be delivered soon after the new system is installed and tested at your building. Please see the schedule on the Plant website. 

If your new location is on the new system (highlighted green on the ID Access Card Schedule) you can stop by 64 Bailey Ave on the scheduled dates listed in question #6. If the building you are at is NOT highlighted green yet, please be patient and the ID access card will get to your location according to the schedule. 

All NEW ID access cards will have a 2024 expired date over the Buffalo District logo on the lower bottom of the card. Only the NEW cards work on the buildings highlighted green on the schedule. 

See question #6 for the days and times available to have your concerns addressed at our central location.

There is nothing we can do with the old system. You will need to be patient for the new system installation. 

Please see the new system installation schedule here.

We will start accepting specific staff at specific times that are detailed in the table below at our District central location (64 Bailey Avenue). Please DO NOT show up if you are seeking all school access (reference question #11) or your building location is NOT highlighted green on the schedule. You will be turned away.  

Please see the new system installation schedule here.

All information comes from MUNIS. You can request a new ID access card when your information has been updated in MUNIS. We will provide instructions on this page regarding how to request a new ID access card when we are ready to receive those requests.

This question can be answered by the Payroll Department.

You have to register your new ID access card. The copier will prompt you to put in your email address and your email password. If you do not get prompted, or have any other errors, please contact the Help Desk at 716-816-3510.

The building administrators will identify working hours for their building for the various staff working at that location. The working hours will be based on job function. We will not be able to program any ID access card for hours that are specific to only one person. We will determine the most applicable time range and access privileges for your request, if it is approved by your building administrator. Your building principal or admin can contact IDaccessCards@buffaloschools.org to request time changes.

Initially, your new ID access card will only work at the location at which you took your photo (typically your payroll school). We are working on District-wide policies and procedures for multiple school access. We will provide all relevant staff with instructions about how to request access to additional buildings in the future.

Our priority is currently building access for all District staff. We will be addressing single office swipes in the future.

We are working on elevator cards now for each location. There will be a form that the office will use to track the cards when they get delivered to each location.

We will be updating this web page with the most up-to-date information available.

We will provide instructions to all outside/contracted organizations at a later date. Your organization will be prioritized after all BPS staff have had their photos taken. We will contact your supervisors/administrators with information when we are ready.
