All students are issued textbooks free of charge, with the exception of some dual credit classes or
KVHS classes. Students using state textbooks are expected to keep these books in excellent
condition. The student to whom the book was issued must pay for damaged, stolen, or lost books.
No additional books will be issued until debts are paid. Seniors will not be granted diplomas
until debts are paid.
