Textbook Procedures

The Texas Education Code states, “Failure to adequately protect textbooks must result in penalties to student (and parent/guardian) designed to minimize losses to the campus, the district, and the State of Texas.” In order to comply with this law, PHS will enforce the following procedures.

1. Students will be held accountable for the use of class sets of textbooks.  If students notice damage, they need to report it immediately to the teacher.
2. For consumable textbooks, textbooks may not leave the classroom without teacher's permission.
3. There will be a book check every semester.
4. Damage or loss of books will result in fines being assessed per district.
5. Information about online textbook access will be shared by teachers.
