No longer needing computer equipment once used by visually impaired students, the Northgate School Board voted Monday to sell the items to the Avonworth School District, which was expected to enroll a visually-impaired student that day.

The board officially declared a portable personal brailer, notebook computer, printer and software and accessories to be “unused and unnecessary,” and voted unanimously to sell the equipment to Avonworth for $3,500. Superintendent Dr. reggie Bonfield said that Northgate originally paid about $5,000 for the items.

Board member Gary Palladin was absent.
