I don't understand this. How do they get out of class in the first place
without a class? As the receiving teacher, how can you write the
pass--how do you know they have permission to be out of class?

My policy is easy and black and white. All passes are issued by the
library,
period - this includes lunch or any other time. I do have rare times
when a
student will be sent to the library out of a class to get a reference
book
or use the copier- - but that is one student and rare. As I wear many
hats -
I may not even be in the library so it is not good policy to send a
student
to an area without an adult. That is the policy for the entire school -
the
"receiving" teacher can only issue a pass.
