The Board of Education believes that District-owned equipment is a valuable resource that may be loaned for community use under certain conditions only, provided that such use does not infringe on the original and necessary purpose of the equipment or interfere with the educational program of the District.

The Board may lend equipment on the written request of the user and approval granted by the Superintendent or his/her designee. The user shall be fully liable for any damage or loss occurring to the equipment during the period of its use, and shall be responsible for its safe return.

Equipment may be removed from District property by staff members only when such equipment is necessary to accomplish tasks arising from their job responsibilities. The consent of the Superintendent or his/her designee is required for such removal. Students may use equipment for the accomplishment of instructional tasks only.

Requests for personal use of District-owned equipment or facilities by staff or students must be approved by the Superintendent or his/her designee.
