REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT
It is the
intent of the Board of Education to assure that district schools are provided
the necessary equipment which supports and enhances the educational program for
all pupils.
The
replacement plan shall be based upon life expectancy and replacement cost of
equipment. The annual physical inventory is the initial point for establishing
a replacement plan. The inventory is updated as new equipment is procured and
processed through the warehouse. The Inventory Listing is the basis for all
future decisions regarding replacement.
Other
criteria to be considered in equipment replacement are:
1.
Obsolescence
of equipment
2.
High
usage of equipment causing premature wearout
New,
additional equipment (not replacement) required for the school sites must be
justified by the school principal. Justifications and modifications to the
standard equipment list may be based on the following:
1.
Technology
Upgrades
2.
Changing
Job Requirements
3.
Cost
Reductions
Equipment
received as gifts to the district, either new or used, will not be replaced as
standard equipment when worn out. Only new equipment gifts will be
maintained.
