[CALIBK12] textbook collection

[pamanddoug]

When I substituted at Aliso Niguel H.S. In Capistrano Unified S.D., they did
not allow students to walk during graduation until they had taken care of
their library/textbook debts.  If they found the books later, they received
a refund.  However, all debts had to be taken care prior to graduation in
order to receive their cap/gown and to walk.  This did not help the
situation where students moved with textbooks, but it did help with a very
fair share of the texts that belonged to regular students attending the high
school.
