Parkview seeks exemption to competitive bidding for sale of retired smartboards
Summary
The district reported removal of nine legacy smartboards (three to be kept for parts, six to be sold) and asked for an exemption to Board Policy 690-Rule requiring competitive bids for items over $500, saying a direct sale could be faster and yield better returns.
Administration told the Finance Committee that nine smartboards were taken out of service and replaced with Newline boards; the district intends to retain three sets for parts and offer the remaining six for sale to interested parties.
Under Board Policy 690-Rule (School Properties Disposal Guidelines), items valued above $500 must be presented to the committee and competitively bid. The administration asked the committee to permit an exemption to the competitive bid requirement so the district can pursue direct sales, arguing that direct sale could be more expedient and yield stronger financial returns. The minutes record the request; no final committee action on the exemption is recorded.
