A place such as the building safe or a locked file cabinet shall be designated
in each building and shall be used for securing these monies until they are
deposited with the Treasurer/CFO. At no time shall any staff member place
public monies in his/her own banking accounts or commingle public monies
with their own. Except in cases of extenuating circumstances, i.e., the
inability to access the secure place in the building, public monies should not
be taken to a person’s place of residence.

In accordance with R.C. 3313.642, failure to pay fees and fines may result in
the withholding of grades and credit. In the event the above course of
action does not result in the fee being collected, the Board authorizes the
Treasurer/CFO to take the student and/or his/her parents to Small Claims
Court for collection.

Nothing in this policy restricts the right of access of a parent or student to
school records or to receive copies of such records, as required by Federal
and State laws.
