Rental System For School Books In Graettinger
Graettinger school boards plan a rental system for textbooks in grades one through six starting September. Each pupil would pay about 2.50 to 2.75 per year, totaling roughly 16.00 over six years. Books would be replaced every four years to improve condition and align with modern methods, with the school owning all volumes under a cash and carry approach. Kyte Jones, superintendent, argues this reduces repeated purchases and disposal burdens on families.
