[CASL-L] CASL-L Digest, Vol 11, Issue 270

[Jodie D'Alexander]

We have 17 loaners available for students to borrow.  Last year we had many
"repeat offenders" borrowing daily for not charging it for the day or
forgetting it at home.  I worked on a plan with our Admins that students
must turn in their cell phones to me while they borrow the loaner....and it
has been a game changer!  We do not have nearly the amount of students
borrowing daily.  ***Last year this time we had loaned out 440 times...we
are at 200 loaners total so far this year.*
