Public Utilities Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•If the district has old papers, maps, or books that they don’t need anymore, they can decide to sell them, throw them away, or get rid of them in another way.
•The district’s board has to agree and make an official decision before they can do this.
•This rule is only for things that the district owns or that their workers have.

Example

A school district has old boxes of attendance records from 30 years ago that are just collecting dust in a storage room.

The school board can vote to throw away these old records if they decide the records aren’t useful anymore. They can’t just toss them without agreeing on it first.
