FYI...I spoke to my assistant principal about this again today...and
'we' are going to add a policy to our building staff handbook which
addresses this! YEAH! I agree with him that we can't go back and charge
for these since the policy was not in place, and I know I am going to
have to write off more from the same teacher from 2000, 2001, 2002, and
probably for this year...but I can hardly wait until next year! (It is
interesting to note that there is something in our district's board
policy manual AND the state law about STUDENTS being responsible for
school property, but apparently NOTHING about staff!!!)
I have been patient with 'her', but d****t, I'm tired of it!!!
