The Technology Department requests the Board to declare surplus computer equipment that will no longer be of use to the System. As new classroom/instructional computer equipment is installed, there will be approximately 100 outdated and/or nonfunctioning CRT monitors, 100 outdated and/or nonfunctioning computers, and 100 outdated and/or nonfunctioning Apple computers taken out of service. In addition, and as part of this request, we are requesting permission to dispose of old finance equipment, specifically the check stamper and check buster, which are no longer being used and are nonfunctional. We estimate that the salvage value of these items is not in excess of the value specified in TCA §49-6-2007(d)(1), which provides, “Surplus personal property in local school systems which has no value or has a value less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250), may be disposed of without the necessity of bids as required by this section.” Therefore, we would like to dispose of them via recycling, which will be no cost to the System.

Obion County Central High School has submitted a request to the Board to declare surplus football jerseys that are outdated. Furthermore, OCCHS requests permission to hold a fundraiser to sell the jerseys for $25 each and for the funds raised to be deposited to the school’s football restricted account to offset the cost of replenishing the jerseys used in the football program. Although the amount of funds expected to be raised by selling these jerseys is more than the amount specified in TCA §49-6-2007(d)(1), which provides, “Surplus personal property in local school systems which has no value or has a value less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250), may be disposed of without the necessity of bids as required by this section,” there is no guarantee that all of the jerseys will be sold. In addition, if we advertised, the cost of the advertisement would be approximately $50, further reducing any funds raised. Therefore, pending Board approval, no bids will be solicited to dispose of this personal property.

Obion County Central High School has submitted a request to the Board to declare surplus boys’ basketball uniforms that are outdated. Furthermore, OCCHS requests permission to hold a fundraiser to sell the uniforms for $10 each and for the funds raised to be deposited to the school’s boys’ basketball restricted account to offset the cost of replenishing the uniforms used in the basketball program. Although the amount of funds expected to be raised by selling these jerseys is more than the amount specified in TCA §49-6-2007(d)(1), which provides, “Surplus personal property in local school systems which has no value or has a value less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250), may be disposed of without the necessity of bids as required by this section,” there is no guarantee that all of the uniforms will be sold. In addition, if we advertised, the cost of the advertisement would be approximately $50, further reducing any funds raised. Therefore, pending Board approval, no bids will be solicited to dispose of this personal property.

I recommend the Board declare the above-noted items as surplus and approve the disposition via the most economical method as described above.
