Q. I received a letter from my child's school
that says we have to pay for a damaged textbook. Who makes this
decision at the school?
A. The school's textbook administrator has the responsibility for assessing
and collecting fines for lost or damaged textbooks. The textbook
administrator uses the guidelines outlined in administrative rule IFAC.
Q. What can I do if I don't agree with the charges for a lost or damaged
textbook?

Q. What will happen if I don't pay for the lost or damaged textbook?
A. IFAC states that students who do not pay for textbooks which have been
lost or damaged shall not be issued additional textbooks or other
instructional materials until their debts are accounted for. A textbook may
be issued to the student for classroom use only. If your student is a
graduating senior, grade cards, diplomas or certificates of progress will
not be issued until restitution is made for lost or damaged textbooks, media
center materials, classroom instructional material or portable equipment.
Transcripts shall not be sent to post-secondary schools until students have
paid all debts or otherwise their resolved debts.

home, please submit a letter from your child's doctor to the textbook

who is hospital home bound?
A. Contact the local school guidance counselor. He or she will be able to
