We ask for the school boards approval to declare surplus equipment from the high school FACS Lab and TMS STEM Lab.  Much of the equipment is no longer usable.  The memo attached describes the items declared surplus so they may be legally discarded.  


10.5 Permission to Close Out Tipton Middle and Elementary School ECA Funds
Robert Cochrane, Board President

The Indiana State Board of Accounts requires school board approval to close out extra curricular accounts that are no longer utilized or underutilized.  Both the elementary and middle school have such accounts and are requesting permission to close the accounts and transfer the remaining funds ($4,794.76 TMS and $12.35 TES) to each school's Student Activities Account.  Specific accounts and balances are shared in your board packet.
