                                   SUPPLIES DISPOSAL OR SURPLUS EQUIPMENT



 Obsolete surplus equipment shall be sold only upon specific Board of Education approval. Such equipment shall not
 ordinarily be sold to an employee of the school district unless through open bidding or when equipment is offered for sale to
 the general public.

 The Superintendent or designee will notify all other town agencies of that which is to be disposed, requesting a written
 reply within thirty (30) days as to any use to which they can put this property. Upon receipt of more than one request, the
 Board of Education will determine the agency which can make best use of the equipment. Materials transferred to town
 agencies shall be sold for a fair market value.

 Disposition of Outdated Books
                                                                                      or designee
 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 destruction of outdated books which are no longer useful to the educational program, provided that such books are a
 minimum of ten years old and have been determined obsolete by the professional administrative staff.
    materials and supplies
 When books 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 PTO, the PTO may dispose of them as they wish. Any monies received therefrom can
 be retained in the PTO account.
