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.

concepts or content that do not support the current goals of the curriculum

2.

information that may not be current

3.

worn beyond salvage

B.

Equipment

The District shall inspect the equipment used in the instructional program periodically, to determine the condition and usability of such equipment in the current educational program. Should the equipment be deemed no longer serviceable or usable, the following criteria will be used to determine possible disposal:

1.

repair parts for the equipment no longer readily available

2.

repair records indicate equipment has no usable life remaining

3.

obsolete and/or no longer contributing to the educational program

4.

some potential for sale at a District auction

5.

creates a safety or environmental hazard

C.

Disposition

The Superintendent is authorized to dispose of obsolete instructional and other property by selling it to the highest bidder, by donation to appropriate parties, or by proper waste removal. Disposal of surplus property purchased with Federal funds shall be disposed of in accordance with Federal procedures.

When original or replacement equipment acquired under a Federal award is no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a Federal awarding agency, the District shall request disposition instructions from the Federal awarding agency if required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Disposition of the equipment will be made in accordance with disposition instructions of the Federal awarding agency.

Except as provided in Section 200.312, Federally-owned and exempt property, paragraph (b), or if the Federal awarding agency fails to provide requested disposition instructions within 120 days, items of equipment with a current per-unit fair-market value in excess of $5,000 may be retained by the non-Federal entity or sold. The Federal awarding agency is entitled to an amount calculated by multiplying the current market value or proceeds from sale by the Federal awarding agency's percentage of participation in the cost of the original purchase. If the equipment is sold, the Federal awarding agency may permit the non-Federal entity to deduct and retain from the Federal share $500 or ten percent (10%) of the proceeds, whichever is less, for its selling and handling expenses.

The District may transfer title to the property to the Federal Government or to an eligible third party provided that, in such cases, the District shall be entitled to compensation for its attributable percentage of the current fair market value of the property.

D.

Availability of Facilities and Property Identified as Surplus, Marked for Disposal, or Otherwise Unused

District facilities and/or property (including tangible personal property) identified as surplus, marked for disposal, or otherwise unused shall be made available to charter schools on the same basis as it is made available to other District schools. A charter school receiving property from the District may not sell or dispose of such property without the District's written permission. For an existing District school converting to charter status, no rental or leasing fee for the existing facility or for the property normally inventoried to the conversion school may be charged by the Board to the parents and teachers organizing the charter school. The charter school shall agree to reasonable maintenance provisions in order to maintain the facility in a manner similar to Board standards. Any school, including District and charter schools, receiving District property must maintain such property in good working condition and order, excepting normal wear and tear. District and charter schools who cause damage to District property shall be required to reimburse the District for the cost of replacement.
