When equipment, books and materials became 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 and materials may not be sold directly to individuals. 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of Education may, upon recommendation of the superintendent of schools, authorize the disbursement or destruction of outdated textbooks and library materials which are no longer useful to the educational program and have been determined obsolete by the professional administrative staff.
When books or library materials are sold either to used book vendors or shredders, this money must be returned to the town general fund. If and when such books are given to the PTA/PTO, the PTA/PTO may dispose of them as they wish. Any monies received therefrom can be retained in the PTA/PTO account.
Whenever any student or parent pays for lost, damaged or stolen textbooks, library or other materials or equipment, or whenever insurance proceeds are received for same, the payments, less any cost to the town for replacing or repairing such items, shall be appropriated to the Board for the fiscal year such payments were received.
Similarly, whenever any outside group or individual makes payment for custodial costs or use of school facilities, the payments, less any costs incurred to the town for providing custodial services, shall be appropriated to the Board for the fiscal year such payments were received.
