Board approves surplus of old jerseys and helmets; helmets will be labeled 'not certifiable'
Summary
The board authorized surplusing 22 old football jerseys and 20 helmets that are no longer certifiable; the district said helmets will be clearly labeled so they are not used for gameplay.
The Lead-Deadwood board approved surplusing 22 old football jerseys and 20 helmets that administrators said had reached the end of their useful life. Staff recommended selling the jerseys (funds to return to the district capital-outlay fund) and clearly labeling helmets that are no longer certifiable so they are not used for play.
Administrators emphasized safety precautions: helmets slated for disposal will be marked with stickers indicating "not certifiable" and "not to be used for gameplay." The board approved surplus disposition, and administrators said proceeds would return to district accounts rather than the team club account because the district originally purchased the equipment.
The surplus authorization was presented as a way to responsibly dispose of old equipment and potentially raise modest funds for the athletic program while keeping safety protections in place.
