Staff recommends that the Board of Education authorize the Chief Business Officer to identity, declare and dispose of personal property in accordance with Section 17545 of the Education Code. 

Education Code Section 17545 authorizes the governing board of any school district to sell for cash any personal property belonging to the district if the property is not required for school purposes, or if it should be disposed of for the purpose of replacement, or if it is unsatisfactory or not suitable for school use. The governing board may choose to conduct a sale of personal property under this section by means of a public auction conducted by employees of the district or other public agency or by contract with a public auction firm. The Board of Education may delegate to the district employee responsible for conducting the auction the authority to transfer the personal property to the highest responsible bidder upon completion of the auction and after payment has been received by the district.

The Technology Department has collected an inventory of obsolete computer related equipment.  All items were found either to be not serviceable for use or are not repairable.  The district will use a state-approved vendor, PC Assets Recovery and Disposal, Inc., who will pick up surplus equipment from each site and recycle according to state and federal environmental laws and then provide a certified report detailing the services performed.

No financial impact. 

In November 2012, the voters approved Proposition 30, a State tax measure to bolster the revenue sources of the State budget that declined from the economic crisis.  This tax allowed the State to stabilize funding to K-12 education which included maintaining annual base revenue apportionments and reducing funding deferrals (late payments of apportionments, IOU’s). In November 2016 voters approved Proposition 55, a new measure to continue the increased income taxes to continue to support K-12 education funding. These funds continue to be allocated through the LCFF sources as the Education Protection Account State Aid.

This is a statutory requirement to receive the apportioned funds that are approximately $6.6 million for DJUSD and $1 million for Da Vinci Charter Academy.
