DKC-P1 - Disposal of Surplus/Obsolete Equipment/Textbooks

1. Contact the Secretary Treasurer’s department regarding the equipment that has become surplus or obsolete.  Other schools will be contacted to see if they have any need for the equipment in question.

2. If it is determined that the equipment can be sold by the school, the Principal should advertise the equipment and the purchase price in the local paper(s).

3. A precise sale starting time, location, etc. should be advertised and adhered to in order to avoid advance selling.  All sale items should be on hand at the commencement of the sale.

4. It should be clearly established that all equipment is sold “as is”.  A money back guarantee is not provided for in the event of equipment failure.

5. The make, model and serial number of the equipment that has been sold, along with the money should be forwarded to the Secretary Treasurer.  This money will be credited to the appropriate school account.

6. If the equipment is not saleable or useful, appropriate disposal will be made by the Principal or designate.

Minor Items:

Minor items such as worn and obsolete textbooks, library books and magazines may be disposed of at the discretion of the Principal.  Before disposing of usable textbooks, the Principal should ensure that they are not being used elsewhere in the Division.  Any monies realized will be credited to the school.
