Section 17078.72(a) stipulates that requested equipment have an average useful life expectancy of at least ten years. What does this mean?
The equipment must have a useful life span of at least ten years as indicated by the manufacturer and supported by the business and industry Advisory Committee. This precludes spending funds on such items as computers, unless the computer is part of the piece of equipment such as a computer driven lathe. The documentation for the life span of the equipment must be kept by the district for potential audit purposes. Supply items or consumable items (such as kits) do not have a ten-year life span and are not eligible. CDE may require an applicant to revise an equipment list if it is determined there are inappropriate items listed.
