Summary

District staff recommended declaring broken or obsolete items from child nutrition and safety/health surplus and proposed transferring a surplus school bus (0786) to the Montgomery County Public Library to serve as a mobile library; items were presented for first read and no board vote was recorded in the transcript.

District staff presented multiple surplus property items as first‑read recommendations and described the process for disposition and revenue return.

An unnamed staff presenter told the board the child nutrition department submitted a list of items that are broken and unrepairable "in accordance with TCA 49‑6‑2007" and recommended those items be declared surplus or salvage and sold on a government auction site, with proceeds returned to the child nutrition fund. The presenter made a similar recommendation for items from safety and health that lack warranties and are proposed for disposal or declaration as surplus/obsolete.

On a separate agenda item, staff summarized a resolution to transfer bus 0786. The presenter said the bus had met mileage and age thresholds rendering it unsuitable for public school purposes under state standards and that the Montgomery County Public Library requested the vehicle to become a mobile library. Staff recommended approval of the transfer as a community partnership; the transcript shows this as a first read with no vote recorded.

These items were described as administrative recommendations during the study session. The board did not take formal action in the recorded segments; any final disposition or transfer would require subsequent board action consistent with board policy and applicable state law.
