The CCSD Warehouse is located at 6975 Cobb International Blvd in Kennesaw, Georgia and is responsible for the internal mail operations between all schools as well as the handling of surplus property.
Mail is delivered on three fixed routes set up in geographic regions and our vehicles cover approximately 300 miles daily. In addition to inter-district mail, the staff will also assist with delivery and pick up of testing materials, textbooks, payroll and surplus furniture and equipment. Mail is delivered every day schools are open during the school year and twice per week during the summer months.
Some items are inventoried and delivered by the warehouse. The eShop program is available through the Financial Services Portal will show you what is available and allow you to order these items. Currently, clay is available for ordering, as is small quantities of other custodial items.
Furniture for growth and replacement needs are stored in limited numbers for SPLOST related projects at the warehouse and are available for ordering through eShop as well. These items, however, do not include assembly or installation when they are delivered unless they are purchased with SPLOST funds. Please take this into consideration when ordering. If you need of assembly and installation, you can order items from the School Furniture Bid which includes delivery, installation, and removes all boxes, or you could utilize the moving services bid to assist. Good used furniture will be shipped out in lieu of new furniture whenever possible on any stock requisition unless it is indicated that only new furniture is acceptable. There is no cost for the used furniture.
Surplus furniture and equipment is picked up or redistributed on an as needed basis. Locations wishing to have items picked up should fill out either a Surplus Property Form or a Warehouse Service Form and forward these to the warehouse to schedule a pick up. For removal of lawn debris and construction debris, please contact maintenance for removal. We ask that if pick up requests can be handled during the summer months to please have these turned in by the first week of June. This will allow the items to be removed over the summer and the school year will start without the excess or broken items being a hindrance to your location when students return.
Please do not allow damaged or excess items to become a safety hazard. Staff should never block doorways, electrical panels or create any unsafe environment for staff or students. Placing items outside your building creates a haven for animals and insects, a safety risk for staff picking it up, an eyesore for your school and eliminates the potential for redistribution due to exposure to weather.
At most times of the year the warehouse has an inventory of good used classroom furniture available for redistribution that has been picked up from district locations. If you would like to have any of these items at your location, please forward a Warehouse Service Form with your request. The request will be filled or you will be notified that inventory is not available. At different times, a note will be sent letting you know that we have excessive quantities of some items. As a rule of thumb, elementary student desks, stack chairs, AV carts and assorted tables are always available in some quantity.
Surplus furniture and equipment that can not be used within the district or which is obsolete is disposed after the School Board has approved this action. Several methods of disposal are used, including public auctions, internet sales or destruction, dependent on the item type and the condition of the item. Technology items are disposed of through an annual bid with a third party to ensure proper disposal, destruction and indemnification.
If workloads permit, the warehouse may assist with moving services or transferring items between locations, but this is not a prime responsibility of the operation. If immediate moving services are needed please refer to the moving services bid.
Custodial supplies are now delivered directly from our vendors, but there may still be some quantities left that you can have delivered from the warehouse. Please consult the eShop program to see what items may still be available.
The warehouse does not keep furniture on hand to loan to schools. If you have a need for chairs or tables, you can refer to the furniture rental bid to arrange the delivery and pick up of chairs and other items for a specific function. Occasionally there will be available surplus items that could be used, but there is not a guarantee of specific color or if the warehouse staff can assist with the movement of the items. The requesting location may have to arrange movement through the moving services bid.
