Board approves sale of 300 surplus Chromebooks to Peru schools and accepts multiple donations
Summary
The board declared 300 Chromebooks surplus and approved selling them to nearby Peru schools for $10 each, accepted several small community donations, and approved disposal of three pallets of e‑waste.
The Connersville School Corporation Board on April 22 approved declaring 300 Chromebooks surplus and selling them to Peru schools for $10 per device, and accepted several community donations.
Chris, identified in the packet as technology director, recommended the district sell the 300 Chromebooks to Peru schools rather than to a recycler. He told the board the devices are roughly six to seven years old and have about two years of usable life remaining under current updates; the recommendation included disposal of three pallets of e-waste. Trustees discussed device life cycles, replacement timing and prior Chromebook purchases before approving the surplus sale and e-waste removal by motion and voice vote.
The business office reported donations including $165 from First Pres for middle-school deficit lunch accounts; $1,675 to the baseball program; $1,950 for a middle-school student (Sarah Smith) to attend a performance; $60.71 for choir; and $27.94 for the musical. The board approved the listed donations by voice vote.
