ii. Donation Acceptance: Office Furniture from Rheaply to DeKalb County School District (Value Not to exceed $281,302.62) ~ Updated 12.4.2024
Summary: Mrs. Jennifer Caracciolo, Deputy Chief Communications Officer, Division of Community Engagement & Innovative Partnerships
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education accept the donation of office furniture from Rheaply to the DeKalb County School District. Value not to exceed $281,302.62.
Why: This donation allows these items to have a "second life" and supports the district's commitment to reuse, reduce, and recycle. Donated items also mean that we do not have to use operational or SPLOST funds for capital outlay purchases. We appreciate Rheaply's partnership.
Details: Upon receipt of the furniture, it will be categorized and then distributed by the Operations Division across the district to fill where needed.
Financial impact: There is no cost to the district to accept the donation from Rheaply.
