The Board of Education believes that District-owned equipment is a valuable resource which 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 specific items of equipment on the written request of the user and approval granted by the Superintendent and only when such equipment is unobtainable elsewhere.

The user of District-owned equipment 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.

District equipment may be removed from District property by students or staff members only when such equipment is necessary to accomplish tasks arising from their job responsibilities. The consent of the Superintendent is required for such removal.
