Texas public schools will soon be sending students home with DNA and fingerprint identification kits in an effort to help parents identify them in case of an emergency.

Approximately 3.8 million students in Texas are expected to bring home a kit, ABC13 reported, with some schools set to begin distributing them as early as this week.
