Board discusses surplus-property disposal and asks Dr. Missal to coordinate
Summary
Board members discussed extensive surplus items between two buildings, agreed staff should prioritize recycling and bidding what is salable, and indicated they will entrust Dr. Missal to work with principals and teachers to identify items for disposal; no formal vote is recorded.
During other business, members raised concerns about the volume of surplus items stored between two district buildings and the time required to catalog assets for disposal. Speakers said many items are coming from high school and middle school purges and listed common examples—chairs, tables and classroom resources—some of which staff have already prepared for bidding.
Staff noted storage burdens and urged recycling or reuse where possible. One speaker said several items have been given to "Victor" to place for bid. To streamline the process, a speaker proposed the board entrust "Dr. Missal" to work with building principals and teachers to determine what can be disposed, what can be repurposed municipally, and what must be retained. The meeting record captures the board entrusting Dr. Missal to coordinate these tasks but does not show a formal roll-call vote.
Speakers also emphasized that items tied to disciplinary matters should not be discussed in public and require a nonpublic process. Staff and board members discussed timing (including summer purging) and the workload for teachers and staff if cataloging is delayed.
Next steps recorded: Victor has begun preparing items for bids, staff will continue purging with an eye to recycling usable resources, and the board will have Dr. Missal coordinate the disposal process with principals and teachers. The transcript does not include a formal vote or a final, binding authorization in the record.
