[CALIBK12] textbook collection

[Alan Pickering-Walters]

Brenda,

As I understand it, my district didn't allow high school students to  
receive their class schedule this year until their books and/or fines  
had been cleared.
It apparently worked very well.

Dear Colleagues:

Our district is struggling with a huge number of textbooks not being  
returned each year.  We send notices to students and letters to  
parents, call home, call students into the library asking them to  
return the missing books.

With the budget crisis, this has become a real issue for us.  Our  
district leaders have scheduled meeting to try to find a solution for  
this problem.  How are other districts handling this problem?  Do any  
of you use a collection agency?

You may respond to me off the list serve if you desire.

Thank you for any help and suggestions you may give.
