APPROVED TEXTBOOKS, NOVELS AND ONLINE SUBSCRIPTIONS
The District is proud of the quality of instructional materials which students and teachers use to support our curriculum standards.
Textbooks are normally adopted on a state curriculum cycle by the district from a list of materials approved by the state of California.
Each time textbooks are adopted, professional development is offered on units of study and strategies in using the materials. All textbooks and materials that are adopted and approved are aligned with the state and district standards and benchmarks. Educational computer software and internet resources are utilized at every grade level to support student achievement toward meeting standards. Teachers have frequent professional development opportunities to support instruction throughout the year.

RETURNING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
Students are responsible for returning all textbooks, instructional materials and novels loaned to them for the school year. If students do not return the materials loaned (checked out ) to them, they will be charged a replacement fee to replace the lost edition(s).
In order to assure that we are getting the correct book, we are unable to accept replacement books purchased online or at bookstores.
There are often many editions of the same book available, as well as California vs National editions that appear to be an exact match outwardly, however, the content can, and does, vary. Also, used books available on Amazon often arrive with missing pages, and/or damage that causes the book to be unusable. To ensure that we get the correct edition that exactly matches the one that was lost, our District textbook clerk will order a replacement from one of our reliable vendors.
TEXTBOOKS NOT RETURNED
Students who do not return District instructional materials will be assessed a reparation amount based on the replacement cost of the book(s). This assessment will remain with the student throughout their tenure with the District until reparation has been made.
Per Board Policy (AR 5125.2) and California Education Code (EC 48904 and 48904.3), the District may withhold grades, diplomas, or transcripts from the student and parent/guardian until reparation is made.
REFUND POLICY
Refund Policy: If a parent/student locates a lost book that was paid for, parents may return the book to their student's school within 90 days of payment in order to request a refund. Books located and returned after 90 days from the date of the payment will not be refunded, as a replacement will have already been ordered.
Schools do not accept replacement books purchased online or at bookstores. There are often many editions of the same book available, as well as California vs National editions that appear to be an exact match outwardly, however, the content can, and does, vary. Also, used books available on Amazon often arrive with missing pages, and/or damage that causes the book to be unusable.
