Vallecitos declares equipment surplus

The Vallecitos School District has declared computer equipment and other items to be surplus to the district's needs.

The declaration of surplus must be approved by the school district board and, on Nov. 10, the board voted 5-0 to declare surplus 47 Acer Chromebook computers, 21 Acer chargers, a shed in the district barn, and eight projectors.

The California Education Code allows a school district, with approval by the board, to sell or otherwise dispose of what is classified as personal property (as opposed to real property) if that property needs replacement or is unsatisfactory or otherwise unsuitable for school use.

The shed and the projectors were deemed not worth repairing, and the school district might sell those at auction if no alternative arrangements for purchase or donations are made.

The computers will likely be donated. "We're working with an organization called Computers for Kids," said Vallecitos School District Superintendent Maritza Koeppen, who is also the principal of Vallecitos Elementary School.

"It's good to see them get some use," said board president Michael Darnley.
