> Hi all,

> Hope you're all enjoying your summer....although it seems to be fleeting.

> SOME BACKGROUND:
> This is the first year our middle school checked out and now, checked in =
> our students' textbooks. I realize that all change is difficult, but when
> =
> we contacted some of our parents to let them know that the book(s) used by
> =
> their students was damaged, they protested and some refused to pay for the
> =
> damaged text(s). =20
>
> MY QUESTION:
> Does anyone have a rubric or an evaluative tool for determining the =
> severity of damage of a book? It would make things so much easier if any
> =
> damaged book could be assessed with the same tool so when parents question
> =
> the decision to charge for the damage, we would have a standard which =
> could be applied and support our decision.
>
> Please respond to me off the listserv and I'll post a hit if I get any =
> responses.
