Escambia County Textbook Losses over the last 3 Year Period Exceed $1.6 Million

Over the last three year period, Escambia County has sustained losses of over $1.6 Million in lost and damaged textbook costs.

An itemized, school by school look at the numbers and costs can be found here.

The dollar amounts are high, as are the "fees waived" amounts-while the collected amounts on these losses are very low, and this concerns me.

I have put this subject on the agenda for discussion by the board at our regular monthly board discussion workshop scheduled for This Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 3PM at the McDaniel Building downtown.
