[LM_NET] HIT- magazines/ periodicals

[Beth Davis <bethdavis@FLOYDBOE.NET>]

 Here are the responses I got, and thanks to each and every person who contributed.

Until the magazine holder for that magazine is full.  :-)  For a monthly
magazine, it's usually two years.  For a weekly, it's about every six
months.

 

3 years

 

2 years

 

I throw out all "popular" magazines (like SI for Kids, Nickelodeon) at the end of 
the school year.  I keep Dig and other one-subject periodicals for as long as they 
stay together.

 

1 magazine file box for each title and until that box is full.  I do not throw away 
KIDS DISCOVER, COBBLESTONE, FACES, CALLIOPE

 

We keep it the current year and one year after that.



 

I'm at the MS/HS level, not elementary, but I keep them five years. I 
keep the back issues in boxes, with anywhere from six months to three 
years per box. Everything in the box has to be over five years old 
before I remove it.

Those magazines to be discarded are put out for anyone to take. After a 
week or so whatever is left goes to the dumpster.

 

My district (Laurel School District, Laurel, MS) says 5 years.
