Policy 0803-21
When district-owned books, equipment and supplies, with a current value of less than $500, become unusable, obsolete, or no longer needed, the superintendent or designee shall identify these items to the board of trustees, with a recommendation that they be sold or disposed according to the methods prescribed by Idaho Code, Section 33-601 and administrative regulations. With board approval, the superintendent or designee shall arrange for the sale or disposal of said items.
Library books that have been weeded from a building’s collection (Policy 602.21) may be disposed of in the following manner without specific board approval:
- Weeded books will be offered to teachers for use in a classroom library.
- Weeded books unclaimed by teachers will be offered free of charge to students.
- Weeded books unclaimed by teachers/students will be sent to a recycler.
Textbooks that are determined to be unusable, obsolete, or no longer needed may be disposed of in the following manner without specific board approval:
- Building department chairs will compile lists of textbook designated for disposal and send to the appropriate curriculum coordinator at the DSC.
- The Assistant Superintendent of Instruction will approve submitted lists of textbooks for disposal.
- Textbooks approved for disposal may be sold, repurposed and/or recycled.
The superintendent or designee shall provide due consideration to federal regulations when selling equipment for which the federal government has a right to receive all or part of the proceeds. These procedures shall ensure a reasonable amount of competition so as to result in the highest possible revenue.
