Students in k-12 do not have rights like normal citizens. They are the responsibility of the school during school hours. This would be a great idea and help limit vandalism. The school already has the rights to open backpacks, purses, lockers, etc at their discretion. Whats the difference?

No, it wouldn't. The students would simply take off their RFID badge to avoid being detected while they were down another hallway or in another class vandalizing and wreaking havoc. RFID tracking will only be able to accurately track law-abiding students -- therefore it is useless.
