PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DEBT COLLECTION POLICY

Debts would include, but not be limited to such things as lost/damaged textbooks, library books/fines, unpaid lunch fees, etc.

Parents will be notified in writing of the items and fees owed to the school.

The St. Tammany Parish School Board authorizes schools to withhold grades, report cards, diplomas, transcripts, and participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities of students in debt.

In order to appeal this procedure, an appointment must be made with the principal of the school to discuss the individual situation.

In the case of a student transferring to another school, all financial obligations shall be met before the withdrawal is completed.
