The Board of Education requires the Superintendent to review the property of the District periodically and to dispose of that material and equipment which is no longer usable in accordance with the terms of this policy.
| A. | Instructional Material |
The District shall review instructional materials (i.e. textbooks, library books, manuals, support materials, etc.) periodically to determine the relevance of such materials to the present world and current instructional programs. The following criteria will be used to review instructional materials for redistribution and possible disposal:
| 1. | textbooks with a copyright date ten (10) or more years old | ||
| 2. | textbooks that contain concepts or content that does not support the current goals of the curriculum | ||
| 3. | books that contain information that may not be current | ||
| 4. | instructional material worn beyond salvage |
| B. | Other Property |
The Superintendent is authorized to dispose of obsolete property by selling it to the highest bidder. S/He shall report all such transactions of $100 or more to the Board. However, property having a cash value of less than $100 may be sold or disposed of without bid provided the price is agreeable to the Superintendent.
When materials are found to be inappropriate for instruction, they may be disposed of by means of sale, donation to students in the community, donation to nonprofit organizations, or disposal by authorization of the Superintendent.
