PUBLIC GIFTS TO THE TECHNOLOGY CENTER

Board of Education Section 3

Policy 3.14

The board of education assumes responsibility, within its financial capabilities, for providing at public expense all items of equipment, supplies, and services that may be required in the technology center under its jurisdiction.

Donations, grants, or bequests will be accepted and the action recorded, provided the conditions of acceptance do not remove any degree of control of the technology center from the board and will not cause inequitable treatment of any student(s) or student group(s).

Propositions giving funds, equipment, or materials to the technology center with a “matching agreement” or restriction are generally not acceptable. Acceptance of donated equipment or materials may depend upon compliance with the board’s policy of standardizing materials and equipment in the technology center.  

Any person or organization desiring to give a gift or make a grant or a bequest to the board should contact the superintendent, who may accept the gift, thank the donor, and inform the board, except that offers of real property will be accepted only by the board. Also, where the appropriateness of a gift is in doubt, the superintendent will refer the matter to the board for its acceptance or rejection.  

Any donation, gift, or grant accepted by the superintendent as its executive officer will become the property of the board of education and will comply with all state and federal laws. Donations shall not be accepted for scrap.
