The library media specialists in my district raised this issue
recently.  When I talked to our central office I was told that the
monies collected from the various school libraries goes into the general
fund, along with other monies collected at each school, which then is
used to help fund the unit budgets for each of the schools.  If the
schools were to keep the money they collected, the unit budget would
then have to be reduced. (and the library budget would be reduced, I
suppose.)   I think it does make some sense.
