Board approves consent agenda; declares textbooks and equipment surplus, reclassifies 2014 Thomas bus
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda including new hires, declared excess textbooks/instructional materials and furniture as surplus, and reclassified a 2014 Thomas bus as surplus equipment; motions carried unanimously as recorded in the meeting.
At its May 27 meeting the Depew Union Free School District Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included personnel and routine business items and later approved motions to declare excess textbooks, instructional materials, furniture and scrap maintenance equipment surplus and to reclassify a 2014 Thomas bus as surplus equipment.
During the meeting the board welcomed new employees named in the consent agenda: Henry Ferman III and Nicholas O'Connell (maintenance mechanics); Mary McPherson (special education teacher); Spencer Marlin (art teacher); and John George (high school social studies teacher). The board recorded the motion to approve the consent agenda and noted "All in favor? Aye. Motion carried." The transcript does not list the mover or seconder by name.
Later under new business the board moved and seconded a motion, based on the interim superintendent’s recommendation, to declare the attached list of items excess and surplus; the board voted "Aye" and the motion carried. The board likewise moved and seconded a motion to reclassify a 2014 Thomas bus as surplus equipment; the motion carried after an "All in favor? Aye." No roll-call vote with individual tallies was recorded in the transcript excerpts.
Why it matters: Surplus declarations and reclassification of district assets trigger disposal, sale or recycling processes and affect fleet and textbook inventories; consent agenda approvals set staffing for the next school year.
