Sales & Disposal of Books, Equipment & Supplies

Disposition of Outdated Books

When equipment, books and materials become worn out, obsolete, surplus, or otherwise unusable in the schools, the Superintendent may authorize their disposal in a manner to the district’s best advantage.

Equipment may not be sold directly to individuals except as part of an advertised general sale. Any proceeds from disposition of equipment or supplies shall be deposited in the Town General Fund.

The Board of Education may, upon recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, authorize the disbursement or destruction of outdated books which are no longer useful to the educational program, provided that such books have been determined obsolete by the professional administrative staff.

When books are sold either to used book vendors or shredders, this money must be returned to the Town General Fund.
