The prblem with
school equipment is the disposals policy. As they are bought
with public money the requirements for disposal are very strict. In my area
the policy is:
1) Offer to other departments
2) Offer to other schools
3) Offer to other local authority departments
4) Offer to charitable institutions
5) Offer to staff
The policy in the US is the same except there's no **requirement** to offer the
stuff to the staff. Although mandy places do.
