MANAGING DISTRICT RESOURCES
The District has implemented an Integrated Library and Textbook System in all schools named Destiny Manager. Part of the process is to inventory and barcode all textbooks; therefore, all surplus textbooks must be transferred to the District Warehouse. Surplus core textbooks are defined as number of textbooks in excess of 10% over the number of projected enrollment.
