Springfield authorizes disposal of 1,397 MacBook Airs and surplus technology
Summary
The board approved disposal of obsolete and surplus technology, including an attached inventory that lists 1,397 MacBook Air 2019 units in varying condition and numerous older devices slated for recycle or sale.
The Springfield Board of Education on June 2, 2025 authorized disposal of obsolete and surplus technology property after reviewing an attached inventory that lists 1,397 MacBook Air units (2019 model) plus additional older devices and peripherals.
Item 21 in the School Administration agenda delegated approval for the disposal and directed staff to seek the most beneficial method for disposal of the attached list. The inventory, submitted as part of the agenda, itemizes hundreds of MacBook Air 2019 units and dozens of earlier MacBook Air (2013) machines listed for recycle, along with tablet devices (iPad Gen5/Gen6), projectors and audiovisual equipment. The asset list records each MacBook’s asset tag, serial number and a condition label (GOOD, FAIR, POOR, DAMAGED or Unknown). The agenda notes a total of "Total Macbooks 1,397." (SEG 243)
The board passed the School Administration items, including the disposal authorization, by roll call during the meeting. Board members asked for brief clarifications earlier in the session about vendor contract changes; no public objections to the disposal were recorded in the transcript.
The authorization covers the inventory as submitted; the agenda language directs staff to ‘‘seek the most beneficial disposal’’ of the listed items. The transcript does not record further procedures for data sanitization or chosen disposal vendors; those operational steps were not specified in the minutes.
The disposal approval was part of the School Administration motion passed by roll call; the board adjourned at 8:37 p.m.
