Running Start students now have access to an exchange where they can buy and sell used textbooks. Melissa Lang, the mother of a Running Start student and also a district employee, is coordinating the exchange. She will create the spreadsheet of all textbooks available for purchase each quarter and email the list to subscribers. Students may then contact one another directly to arrange the sale/purchase of books.

"It's a win-win," says Melissa. "Everyone can save on their books."

Students in the Running Start program attend classes at a local community college for college credit while they are still enrolled in high school. Because these are college classes, students must purchase their own textbooks.

For more information, contact Melissa by email.
