All students are expected to pay all outstanding fines and/or lost book fees prior to final exams. You will not receive your grades until you have cleared your record.


DeKalb Board of Education Policy Code IFA-R(1) states in part, “Media Center Materials: Students who lose, destroy, or otherwise damage media center materials shall be required to reimburse the DeKalb County Board of Education for the replacement value of the item. The price charged for a lost book or other material shall be determined by the replacement value of the material. A processing charge of $1.00 shall also be assessed.

"Restitution in Lieu of Monetary Payment: Students who are not financially able to pay for lost or damaged textbooks or media center materials shall be allowed to provide restitution in the form of voluntary service. Any voluntary service shall have the prior approval of parents or guardians.”

Georgia Code 20-2-1013 states: “[T]he following sanctions [may be made] against a pupil who fails or refuses to pay for a lost or damaged textbook, library book, or media material at the replacement cost: 1) Refusal to issue any additional textbooks, library books, or media materials until restitution is made; 2) Withholding of all grade cards, diplomas, or certificates of progress until restitution is made.”
