The Lost / Overdue Book Conundrum

Initial question:

“The powers that be have advised me that they were indeed aware of this perspective regarding overdue books, but that there is no reason parents cannot 'come to school' to pick up their final grade reports instead of simply sending them home on the last day.

The perspective being, if they are forced to come to the building they can be reminded to pay their child's overdue/lost book bills and for lunch accounts not kept up to date.

What is the correct, advisable path to take?”

Student Privacy

Hello all,

Can any of you help me with this?

Is there a specific law in New York which prohibits a media specialist from telling a parent what books their child currently has checked out? I have seen the AASL position statement on the confidentiality of library records, but I am looking for something more concrete.”

Thanks,

Darren
