EJC-P0 - Acquisition, Maintenance and Control of Donated Materials and Equipment

The Board encourages school community initiatives that provide additional resources for the schools.  It recognizes the value of playground equipment, computer hardware/software, and sports or other equipment that accrues as a result.  In the case of any equipment, all must be of CSA standard. The following procedures will, however, be followed by A.C.S.L. or other parent or community groups or organizations considering either the acquisition of same for schools, or the major renovation or retrofitting of existing equipment.

Acquisition or major renovation 

The group or organization will involve the Principal and staff at the early stage.  The ongoing input will be sought for all aspects of the project: educational considerations, safety standards, aesthetics, costs, etc.  Senior Administration will be informed of developments as they occur, and will give approval before the project proceeds. In the case of playground equipment, all equipment must meet CSA standards.

Maintenance and control 

Donated or otherwise furnished equipment becomes school property and is placed on the school’s inventory listing, under the school’s control.  Usual maintenance requirements are to be submitted to the Division Office through established channels.  (See also FC)
