 * 2011-12 DISTRICT END-OF-YEAR TEXTBOOK COLLECTION PROCEDURES **

Each school will have a designated administrator in charge of textbooks, preferably an assistant principal (AP). The principal and the textbook AP are responsible for the implementation of the textbook collection steps listed below, with the exceptions of making the district-wide TeleParent call and creating the textbook charge list.


 * Textbook Collection Process **:


 * 1) District makes all-district TeleParent call reminding parents that textbooks need to be turned-in at the end of the year. Schools make follow-up TeleParent calls giving specific collection dates.


 * 1) Schools will each have designated day(s) for collecting textbooks. Advertise the date(s) well in advance to all classes. Communicate to students what can happen if textbooks are not returned, or are damaged, and there are fines for missing and damaged textbooks. Consequences for not clearing textbook fees are detailed under “Textbook Consequences” on page 3.
 * Persons responsible – textbook AP, department chairpersons, teachers, designated clerical staff
 * Persons responsible – textbook AP, department chairpersons
 * 1) Textbook collection day(s) should be scheduled **__no later__** than the first day of regularly scheduled final exams. Assistant principals and department chairpersons do a visual check to see that textbooks have been collected.


 * 1) If a student transfers to another class during the year, the textbook from the previous class should be collected, and a textbook from the new class should be distributed; **or,** the book card/record (in database) is transferred to the new teacher. The student needs to bring the book back to the teacher who possesses the card/record associated with the textbook.
 * Persons responsible – department chairpersons, teachers


 * 1) When collecting textbooks, compare the number on the card/checkout list to the number on the textbook, on the inside of the cover or on the bottom of the book spine, of each student’s book. Make sure the numbers match. Students are to return textbooks that were specifically issued to them. (They should not be turning-in someone else’s textbooks!)
 * Persons responsible – department chairpersons, teachers


 * 1) *The District Campus administrative assistant, who orders textbooks (Judy Oceguera), will create a charge list by subject, title and ISBN number, and cost of each textbook.

6.1 If there is damage to the textbook, then fill out a **textbook charge slip.** Follow the “**TEXTBOOK CHARGES”** guidelines on the next page to determine charges for damage. Refer to district charge list for textbook replacement costs.
 * 1) Check each book for damages, such as major pen markings, water damage, etc.

 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 14.6667px;">Ed Code §48904 **<span style="font-family: &#39;Calibri&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; font-size: 14.6667px;"> – Students are responsible for all textbooks issued to them by the school district. Textbooks must be returned in good condition, when the course is completed, or the student moves. Lost, stolen, or misplaced textbooks must be paid for by the student. The replacement cost will be refunded, if the textbook is found and returned later.
