All teachers who issue textbooks to students are required to follow the policy listed below. Teachers are encouraged to share this policy with their students several times during the year and to check for books on a periodic basis.
Textbooks will be issued to students using the "Book Issue/Return Form." All the appropriate information should be completed on the book form before the teacher collects it from the student.
The teacher will require an end of course activity that will be averaged into the student's final grade. This activity may be an exam, project, presentation, etc. The text for the course will be collected on the day of the closing activity. If a student does not have his or her book or the money to pay for the book on the day of the closing activity, the teacher will allow the student to complete the assignment but will not grade the activity until the book is returned or debt paid.
Teachers will submit book slips to their department chairs at the end of each semester. One corner of the book slip form needs to be clipped off for all core subject textbooks.
