Redistribution Center
The
Redistribution
Center
is
responsible
for
proper
disposition
of
surplus
property
sent
by
the
schools
and
central
offices
throughout
the
School
Division.
Whenever
possible,
surplus
property
that
is
in
good
condition
is
redistributed
to
schools
at
no
cost.
The
savings
based
on
tracking
this
redistribution
is
estimated
at
over
$200,000
per
year.
The remaining surplus is sold online through the Public Surplus auction site. New auction property is put online twice weekly and has generated between $100,000 and $348,000 annually for the last four to five years. The 2014 total was $348,000. With the online auction we are able to reach out to customers within and outside the United States.
Any remaining surplus property that is metal is sent to a metal recycling center where the School Division has been receiving an average of about $11,000 over the last four years.
Regardless of the final specific disposition method, the Redistribution Center is an extension of Property Control and provides a centralized, standard accountability process for the school supplies and equipment.
