803.1 - Disposition of Obsolete Equipment

School property, such as equipment, furnishings, supplies, or any other property that is not real property (hereafter equipment), will be disposed of when it is determined to be of no further use to the school district.  It is the objective of the school district in disposing of the equipment to achieve the best available price or most economical disposal.

The Board authorizes the administration to sell or otherwise dispose of obsolete equipment having a value of less than $25,000 in any manner as determined by the Superintendent or designee to be in the best interest of the school district.  Each such sale or disposition shall be published once in a newspaper having general circulation in the District.

A public hearing will be held regarding the sale or disposal of equipment with a value of $25,000 or more prior to the Board’s final decision.  The Board will adopt a resolution announcing the proposed sale or disposition and will publish notice of the time and place of the public hearing and the description of the property will be in the resolution.  Notice of the public hearing will be published at least once, but not less than 10 days and not more than 20 days, prior to the hearing date unless otherwise required by law.  Upon completion of the public hearing, the board may sell or otherwise dispose of the equipment.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation to the board regarding the method for disposing of equipment of no further use to the school district.
