District supplies and equipment are purchased with tax monies for the educational and administrative benefit of the North Colonie Central School District. Thus, their use is restricted for district purposes except that such supplies and equipment may be used in accordance with provisions of policy no. 1500, Use of Facilities. In all such instances, the supplies and equipment shall be under the supervision of a department administrator or designee. Note: This policy does not regulate supplies and equipment owned by student clubs, PTAs, Booster Clubs, private entities, et. al., whose supplies and equipment may happen to be located on district property.
Private and/or personal use of district supplies and equipment is strictly prohibited, except as Board approved in policy or by contract. Violation of this policy by an employee may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination from employment. In the event that circumstances warrant such action, a report of the employee’s conduct may be made by the Superintendent or designee to appropriate law enforcement authorities for their review.
The district will permit, with supervisor permission, district supplies and equipment to be issued or loaned to staff members for offsite use when such use is directly related to their employment.
District supplies and equipment may be loaned to students, with administrative/teacher permission, when the supplies and equipment are to be used in connection with their academic program or school-related extracurricular activities.
