District plans to retire outdated vans; staff proposes auction or transfer to fire departments
Summary
Staff told the board an outdated van that is no longer safe for student transport could be taken to a New York Mills auction or offered to local fire departments for training; proceeds would be returned to the district.
Administrators said at least one district van is outdated and not safe to carry students and proposed taking surplus vehicles to auction or offering them for local training use.
A staff member described using the New York Mills auction and noted the district used auction sales in the past: "Apparently, New York Mills has an auction place...we did that before...and we'll just drop it off and they'll auction it off and we'll get the money back for it." The presenter suggested offering vehicles to local fire departments for training if auction proceeds are minimal; the board generally supported exploring options and staff said they would follow up.
