How can I claim surplus textbooks from other districts/schools?

To access the Surplus listing, please click on Inventory > Surplus from the Menu.

On this page you will see each title, which you can filter by Grade, Subject, ISBN, and other defining features. ClassGather will also display the school who has the title in Surplus as well as the amount they have listed as such.

Please note that depending on your permission level, you may not see the "claim" button. If that is the case, please check with your district coordinator to claim these books.

To claim an amount of Surplus for yourself, either click the title of the item you wish to claim or click the "Claim" button in the far right to open a window to select the amount you wish to claim. Once you've selected the quantity you'd like, click the "Claim" button.

ClassGather will display a confirmation window in which you can change the quantity and you can confirm for which school you are claiming the surplus. Once you have confirmed, click the "Yes" button.

ClassGather will then notify the school you have requested the surplus from, and then they will need to approve the request before coordinating with your school and moving forward.
