Board declares surplus equipment, authorizes administration to dispose under state rules
Summary
Freedom Public Schools declared multiple items surplus — including a milk cooler, freezers, football bleachers, light poles and 35 student laptops — and authorized administration to dispose of the items following state procurement/resale rules.
The Freedom Public Schools board declared several school assets surplus and authorized district administration to dispose of them using standard procedures and state rules for resale or disposal.
Items listed on the agenda and identified at the meeting included: a milk cooler, cafeteria freezer, counter refrigerator, football bleachers, football goal posts, light poles, night poles and 35 student stackable laptops. A board member described some bleachers and poles as damaged and said they pose a safety risk if left in place.
A district representative asked the board to allow Superintendent/administration staff (the speaker referred to "Mr. Weber and I") to handle disposal and to seek bids or resale proceeds where appropriate. The board approved a motion to declare the listed items surplus and to give administration authority to dispose of them; a board member said the district would follow applicable state rules for contracts and resale.
Board members noted that some items have been costly to maintain and that replacements are already budgeted for certain equipment. The board approved the authorization by roll call.
The board did not publish a disposition schedule or estimated proceeds during the meeting; one board member warned not to expect significant returns from older items.
