6881: Disposal of Surplus Equipment and/or Materials
Adoption Date: Sept. 4, 2012
The board has the authority to declare equipment, supplies, furniture and other district personal property obsolete and/or surplus. The superintendent will establish procedures for their sale, trade or disposal.
Prior to disposing of any surplus texts, other books, equipment, materials or relocatable facilities, the superintendent will serve written notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the school district and to any public school district or private school in Washington state annually requesting such notice. All schools on the list will be notified in writing of the materials and equipment that is available. The material or equipment will be sold to any interested public or private school at its depreciated cost or fair market value, whichever is greater. Students will have priority in the purchase of texts. Disposition of such surplus property to parties other than public or private schools may take place thirty days after written notice is served.
The preceding notice requirements do not apply to the loan, lease, sale or transfer of assistive devices for the use or benefit of children with disabilities, their parents, or any public or private nonprofit agency providing education, health or rehabilitation services to individuals with disabilities. Such devices do not need to be declared surplus. The sale or transfer of such devices will be recorded and based on the item’s depreciated value. The district will establish and maintain an inventory of assistive technology devices whose value exceeds $100, and for each device will establish a value that will be adjusted annually to reflect depreciation.
“Assistive device” means any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off-the-shelf, modified or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of children with disabilities.
Funds derived from the rental, sale or lease of student transportation equipment will be placed into the transportation vehicle fund. Funds derived from the sale of personal property will be placed into the general fund.
