Textbooks and library books are provided to students by the Board of Education on a loan free basis. Students are responsible for returning these books, by the designated due date, undamaged except for normal wear. Students will be held financially responsible for lost or damaged books.
Textbooks lost during the school year will not be replaced until the student has paid the assessment. Students who fail to pay textbook assessments by August 31st will not be loaned books until such assessments are paid. Graduating seniors with assessments outstanding may participate in graduation exercises, but will not receive a diploma. Such students will receive a copy of this Board of Education policy and a statement that the diploma will be forwarded upon payment of the outstanding assessment(s).
