[Thomas, Kirsti]

Nicole,

You may be thinking of the following RCW rules:

RCW 28A.335.180<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28A.335.180>
Surplus texts and other educational aids, notice of availability—Student priority as to texts.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, school districts, educational service districts, or any other state or local governmental agency concerned with education, when declaring texts and other books, equipment, materials or relocatable facilities as surplus, shall, prior to other disposal thereof, serve notice in writing in a newspaper of general circulation in the school district and to any public school district or private school in Washington state annually requesting such a notice, that the same is available for sale, rent, or lease to public school districts or approved private schools, at depreciated cost or fair market value, whichever is greater: PROVIDED, That students wishing to purchase texts pursuant to RCW 28A.320.230<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28A.320.230>(2) shall have priority as to such texts. The notice requirement in this section does not apply to the sale or transfer of assistive devices under RCW 28A.335.205<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28A.335.205> or chapter 72.40<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=72.40> RCW.

School districts and libraries—Disposal of obsolete or surplus reading materials—Procedures.
Any school district or educational service district, after complying with the requirements of RCW 28A.335.180<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28A.335.180>, and any library, as defined in RCW 27.12.010<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=27.12.010>, may dispose of surplus or obsolete books, periodicals, newspapers, and other reading materials as follows:

(2) If no reasonable bids are submitted under subsection (1) of this section or if the reading materials are estimated to have value as reading materials of one thousand dollars or less, the library or school district may directly negotiate the sale of the reading materials to a public or private entity.
(3) If the reading materials are determined to have no value as reading materials or if no purchaser is found under subsection (2) of this section the reading materials may be recycled or destroyed.
These methods for disposing of surplus or obsolete reading materials shall be in addition to any other method available to libraries and school districts for disposal of the property.



It will be ok!

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Questions about our old security gate (plus)

Hi everyone,

Heath Hayden left their Associate Dean position at Bellevue College and I am acting in that role now. One of the tasks that I am working on is what to do with our old security gate. We have a new people counter in place, and we are ready to remove the old gate. I thought that I had some documentation about this, but I can’t seem to find it. Are we required to advertise this gate so that others who might want it can claim it. Of course, any school would have to have 3M come and move the gate, otherwise the warranty would be broken. Can we simply surplus the old gate or is there another process.

We also have several old/first generation Nooks and Kindles that we would like to surplus, but again, we don’t want to do the wrong thing.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
