CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY BY STUDENTS

Textbooks and other school property are loaned to students for their use. Each student is responsible for loss or damage beyond normal wear and use. Students will be billed for the replacement costs of such materials.

If not otherwise recoverable:

A. Damage to school property may be recovered in a civil action to obtain the permitted "double the damage."

B. Costs of lost, destroyed or damaged school books and instructional appliances may be recovered by requesting the municipal assessor to include the value in the next municipal tax of the delinquent parent.
