Board approves disposal of obsolete technology; staff to explore trade-ins and auction options
Summary
Mill Creek Community Sch Corp approved disposal of obsolete technology from district storage and staff discussed future trade-in and auction options to recover value; the disposal list was approved 5-0.
The board approved a second-round cleanup and disposal list for obsolete district technology, completing another step in clearing long-stored equipment from technology closets.
Administration said the district had become a "storage facility" for outdated devices and presented a list of items recommended for disposal. Staff explained some equipment is so old that trade-in value is unlikely but that they will explore auctions or targeted reuse for items with potential value. "When we go 5 years on the device, a lot of times there's not really a value by the time we get to that," an administrator stated when answering questions about trade-in potential.
Board action: After questions about whether the district is "caught up" and if auction options will be pursued, the board approved the disposal list by consensus (5-0).
Follow-up: Administration said it will continue to evaluate trade-in programs and potential auctions for larger items and report back if opportunities arise.
