(A) In the event that a chartered
nonpublic school closes, and it receives its funds directly from the state, the
school cannot keep any materials or equipment purchased with auxiliary services
funds under section 3317.062 of the Revised Code, as those materials and
equipment are property of the state, and materials and equipment are to be
disposed of by any of the following methods:
(1) The materials and
equipment may be offered to any remaining nonpublic schools or preschool
located within the public district and may be used at that nonpublic school or
preschool;
(2) The materials and
equipment may be offered to the public district in which the closing school is
located, and upon acceptance by the school district, the materials and
equipment will become property of the school district;
(3) The materials and
equipment may be sold. Any proceeds related to the sale of auxiliary services
materials and equipment are to be returned to the department of
education;
(4) If the materials and
equipment cannot be sold, and the fair market value of the property is, in the
opinion of the school, two thousand five hundred dollars or less, the item may
be donated. The property may be donated to an eligible nonprofit organization
that is located in this state and is exempt from federal income taxation
pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 501 (a) and (c)(3). Before donating any property under
this division, the school is required to adopt a resolution expressing its
intent to make unneeded, obsolete, or unfit-for-use school property available
to these organizations;
(5) If the materials and
equipment are not an acceptable donation and refused by an eligible nonprofit
organization, the item may be disposed of in accordance with the school's
disposal procedures.
(B) Disposal of obsolete loaned
textbooks
(1) For chartered
nonpublic schools which have received their auxiliary services funds directly
from the state, obsolete textbooks are to be disposed of in the same manner as
textbooks purchased with the school's own funds.
(2) If obsolete textbooks
are sold, all proceeds from the sale are to be returned to the department of
education.
(C) Disposal of materials or equipment
that were purchased in accordance with division (A)(6) or (A)(7) of section
3317.062 of the Revised Code and that are no longer needed for school use, are
obsolete, are unfit for the use for which they were acquired, or have been in
the school's possession for more than four years are to be disposed of in
accordance with division (H) of that section.
