Employees are prohibited from using District property for personal use unless the Superintendent or designee approves the use in advance. Employee use of District property will be consistent with Policies 3304 and 4214.
After use, District property must be immediately returned to the appropriate location or department. The property must be returned in the same condition it was in at the time of acquisition. The employee is responsible for the cost of repair or replacement if the employee negligently or intentionally damages the District’s property.
Employees may not dispose of District property without the supervisor’s written approval. Employees may not take possession of discarded District property without written approval from the Superintendent or designee.
State law regulates the disposal, removal, or refusal to return District books, papers, or records. Retention and disposal of District books, papers, or records must conform with the State of Michigan’s Records Retention and Disposal Schedule for Michigan Public Schools.
An employee who violates this Policy may be subject to discipline, including discharge, and civil and criminal prosecution.
