TARGET: Donation Policies

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@OregonVOS.net>]

We are in the process of formulating a Donation Policy for our
district -- specifically donations of (mainly) books to our
school libraries.

I would appreciate an opportunity to view policies created
by other K12 institutions.

Comments on what should be included in such a policy
are also welcome. For example, should we make a statement
as to copyright date/age for non fiction? Also, do other
schools take all donations with the stipulation that
items may or may not be used? Or do they ask somehow
that people not even bring items that don't meet
meet minimum standards/guidelines?  (I just went thru
30 cases of donated books without finding a single
keeper. How do we discourage the basement cleaners
and remain... gracious??

Thank you!
