Re: GEN:Weeded Material Policy

When we did our giant weed earlier this year, we greased the palms of our
custodians (with girl guide cookies!!!) to discreetly dispose of them.  I
didn't want the classroom teachers to get into them and put them on the
shelves in their classrooms.  Whether the kids use them in the library or
the classroom, they are still out of date.
