The pink copy is sent to the campus where requisition originated and filed to maintain a record. Textbooks are ordered annually based on state guidelines, and the warehouse manager is responsible for receiving all textbooks. The textbooks are delivered to the individual campuses and stored in a temperature-controlled room. A school textbook clerk reporting to the principal at each school is responsible for distributing and collecting textbooks, recovering the cost of lost textbooks from students, and storing textbooks not in use. The district employs a districtwide textbook custodian, who has reported no shortage of textbooks.
All students have an opportunity to take textbooks home.
The district uses an automated inventory tracking system for warehouse goods. The system records the number of items on hand and the average cost of the items. The warehouse manager keys the information pertaining to the goods received into the inventory program. One copy of the form is filed in the warehouse, one is sent to the purchasing agent, and one is sent to the accounts payable clerk to process vendor payments for the goods ordered. The warehouse manager uses information in the tracking system to control quantities of warehouse stock on hand and to reorder when supply quantities get low.
