Students in grades 9th-11th:
All library books are due May 4th. All library fines & fees must be paid prior to final exams. If you have lost a book, you will need to pay for it before final exams. If you cannot afford to pay for it, you may work off your debt in the library media center before or after school. However, you must see Ms. Hawk as soon as possible to make arrangements.
DeKalb Board of Education Policy Code IFA-R(1) states, “Media Center Materials: Students who lose, destroy, or otherwise damage media center materials shall be required to reimburse the DeKalb County Board of Education for the replacement value of the item. The price charged for a lost book or other material shall be determined by the replacement value of the material. A processing charge of $1.00 shall also be assessed.” Georgia Code 20-2-1013 states: “[T]he following sanctions [may be made] against a pupil who fails or refuses to pay for a lost or damaged textbook, library book, or media material at the replacement cost: 1) Refusal to issue any additional textbooks, library books, or media materials until restitution is made; 2) Withholding of all grade cards, diplomas, or certificates of progress until restitution is made.”
