Maple Heights Board approves disposal of outdated Envision curriculum materials
Summary
The board approved declaring certain Envision series materials obsolete and disposing of them; members discussed donating usable books to the public or other schools before disposal.
The Maple Heights Board of Education approved disposing of outdated Envision series curriculum materials at its June 9 meeting after staff recommended the materials be declared obsolete.
Superintendent Dela Flores presented the recommendation to declare the listed materials obsolete so the district could dispose of them. Board members asked whether the district could donate usable books instead of discarding them; one member cited an example of another district collecting and sending books overseas and asked whether Maple Heights could pursue a similar option.
Dela Flores said staff could look into donation options, and a board member noted that the district first must declare the materials obsolete to allow public pickup or donation. A motion to approve the disposal of the curriculum materials was moved and passed. Recorded votes on the motion were: Miss Granger — yes; Miss Cheeks — yes; Miss Moore — yes; Miss Shepherd — yes; President Blackwell — yes.
The board did not specify a date or vendor for disposal during the session. Staff said that once obsolescence is declared, the district can make the materials available to the public or pursue donation arrangements.
