Section 2.2 Classroom Inventory

Policy Statement:

Classroom Inventory

The Curriculum Specialist is responsible for maintaining a comprehensive school inventory.  Teachers will be given an Inventory Confirmation Checklist during Preservice.  They will confirm the items listed on the checklist are in their classrooms.  As teachers purchase items for the classroom, they will present them to the CS to be stamped with the APA stamp and entered into the Comprehensive School Inventory.  Teachers should manually enter the new items into their Inventory Confirmation Checklist.  The teacher will be given an updated classroom inventory at intervals throughout the year.  At the end of the year, the teacher will be responsible to ensure all items on the Confirmation Checklist for their classroom are accounted for.

Students will be issued textbooks by their classroom teacher.  Classroom teachers are responsible for all books they assign to students.  Teachers and Instructors will record book numbers associated with student names in their classes, and will instruct students to write their name in the front of their textbook, along with the current year.  Teachers and Instructors will instruct students that they may not switch books with classmates, and that they will be responsible to turn in the correct book number at the end of the year or unit of study.  Teachers should communicate this information to parents at the beginning of the school year as well.
