I decided to just look at high schools, because most elementary or middle schools don’t seem to charge fines so I didn’t want them to skew the results.  Out of the ten high schools who replied, seven charge fines for overdue books and three do not.  If you didn’t respond yet and would like to add to my sampling, I would welcome it.  My new principal was surprised that we charged overdue fines so I told him I would share with him what other schools do. 

Thanks for your help!
