<div dir="ltr">My district implemented this January 1. No lost fees for books or materials for any student. The bill specifically identifies students on fee waivers, but we would have to look up each student to see if they were on a waiver and charge them if they weren't. We didn't feel searching for this information was equitable for all of our students or the most responsible use of our time (I'm now a solo librarian in 5 buildings with 5 full time clerks), so we removed lost and damaged fines for all students.<div><br></div><div>We are allowed to charge for INTENTIONAL damage for any materials per this bill (we were told that by the business office) but again that requires us to interrogate students about how their books were damaged. We don't handle any Chromebook fees so that's not on our plate. </div><div><br></div><div>Our district agreed to pay to replace all the lost/damaged books we are no longer charging for so that we don't lose the inventory and the replacement doesn't come from our library budget.</div><div><br></div><div>It's all a bit fuzzy to be honest!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 24, 2023 at 9:53 AM Jacob Roskovensky via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">So administration is saying there is now a law that doesn't allow for us to charge students that are free or reduced.
