Re: [LM_NET] Gettin Smoked by Staff Members

We have a teacher who checked out more than 50 books *last* school year for
use in a class project.  Two of those books were lost/stolen/whatever.  The
teacher has been absolutely ugly about it, saying that since the books were
"obviously" taken by a student, it is not his responsibility to pay for
replacement.  I don't really follow his line of thinking, but there you have
it.  And since our principal is leaving, I don't think it's his highest
priority.  So we will just mark the books on his check-out sheet and see if
anything happens ...

Hi everyone,
I have several staff members leaving this year and one still owes me roughly
40 books.  I almost died when she claimed she'd turned everything in when I
handed her a list of books that are still out.  I just handed her a bill for
$444.55.  I'm so glad that my principal is behind me on this!
I wonder what the most costly staff bill has been?
Wendy
