"Section 59-63-65. Beginning with the 1994-95 school year, all students of any middle or high school of this State, within six weeks after the beginning of the school year or within ten days upon enrolling after the beginning of the school year, shall wear identification badges which identify the student as being a currently enrolled student in that school. The identification badges must include a picture of the student.
