Library Fees
The district is required by law to collect money
in payment for willful or negligent damage or loss of textbooks and
instructional materials (California Administrative Code, Title 5, Section 9502).
The parent/guardian of a student shall be liable for district property on loan
to the student and not returned upon demand of a district employee authorized to
make the demand (Education Code 48904). Any person who willfully retains
any print or non-print library material, or other property belonging to the
district, for thirty days after written notice is given upon expiration of the
normal loan period, is guilty of a misdemeanor (Education Code 19911).
Library & Textbook Fines
Library and textbook fines and current
replacement costs are determined by the Superintendent or designee.
Decisions about alternatives to restitution must be determined by the principal
or administrative designee. Fees not paid within 60 days of notice are
referred to collection under the name of the parent/guardian.
