We Work with Schools, Districts, and Publishers
Oak & Page helps schools, districts, homeschool co-ops, publishers, and educational organizations responsibly rehome surplus curriculum, teacher editions, textbooks, classroom libraries, and instructional materials.
If your team is clearing storage, replacing a curriculum adoption, consolidating buildings, or preparing materials for approved surplus disposal, we can review the lot, provide documentation, and coordinate pickup for qualifying materials.
We are a small Wichita-based resale business, and we are comfortable working through your organization’s required process, whether that means a written quote, approved sale, surplus inquiry, scheduled removal, or documentation for your records.
We handle the logistics so your staff doesn’t have to, all with proper documentation and attention to detail.
What We Help With
Schools and organizations often end up with usable instructional materials that no longer fit the current adoption cycle, storage plan, or classroom need. Many of those materials still have value to homeschool families, tutors, teachers, co-ops, and other educators.
Oak & Page may be able to help with:
- Curriculum adoptions being phased out or replaced
- Surplus textbooks and student editions
- Teacher editions, answer keys, assessment guides, and component sets
- Classroom libraries and educational reference books
- Boxed instructional kits and teacher resource materials
- Homeschool co-op curriculum cleanouts
- Publisher overstock, returns, samples, and closeout materials
- Graphing calculators and qualifying classroom technology
- We specialize in educational materials, especially curriculum with clear grade levels, subjects, editions, ISBNs, or matching teacher/student components.
How the Process Works
1. Send Basic Inventory Information
You do not need a perfectly inventoried collection to start. A few photos and a rough description are often enough for an initial review. That said, the more details you can share, the faster we can move.
Helpful information includes:
- Grade levels and subjects
- Publisher or curriculum name, if known
- Approximate number of boxes, shelves, pallets, or carts
- Whether materials are boxed, loose, palletized, or still in classrooms
- Pickup location
- Desired removal timeline
- Any loading limitations or building access notes
- Photos of spines, boxes, pallets, title pages, or ISBNs are especially helpful.
2. We Review the Materials
We’ll review the lot and determine whether the materials are a good fit for resale, donation, or mixed recovery.
For qualifying lots, we may provide a purchase offer, written quote, pickup proposal, or next-step recommendation depending on your organization’s process.
Some materials are too outdated, incomplete, damaged, or specialized for us to use. If that is the case, we’ll be straightforward about it.
3. We Work Through Your Approved Process
We understand that schools and districts often have specific rules for surplus materials. We are happy to work through your required process.
That may include:
- Written quote or offer
- Surplus sale or auction participation
- Invoice or receipt
- W-9 documentation
- Resale certificate
- Pickup confirmation
- Lot summary for your records
- Scheduled removal after approval
We do not ask your staff to circumvent your institution’s surplus/used educational materials policy. Our goal is to make the process easier while respecting your organization’s disposal procedures.
4. We Coordinate Pickup and Removal
For qualifying lots, we can coordinate scheduled pickup and removal. Depending on the size and location of the lot, we may be able to remove boxed materials, classroom sets, shelving-area cleanouts, or palletized curriculum.
We do our best to be respectful of staff time, building access, parking, loading areas, and school schedules.
Please let us know in advance if your location has stairs, limited dock access, no loading assistance, restricted pickup windows, or other removal requirements.
We also ask that you remove student records, confidential documents, internal paperwork, and any sensitive materials before pickup. Oak & Page is not a records destruction service and cannot accept confidential student or personnel records.

Why Schools Work With Oak & Page
We Help Reduce Waste
Many curriculum materials are still useful even after a school has moved to a new adoption. When possible, we help those books reach homeschool families, tutors, teachers, co-ops, and other educators instead of going straight to the landfill or recycling bin.
We cannot save every book, but we make a genuine effort to recover, resell, donate, or responsibly route usable materials.
We Understand Educational Materials
We are not a general junk removal company. We focus on curriculum, textbooks, teacher resources, classroom materials, and educational books.
That means we understand the difference between student editions, teacher editions, workbooks, assessment guides, manipulative kits, classroom libraries, and component sets. We also understand why edition details, ISBNs, grade levels, and missing components matter.
We Make the Process Easier for Staff
Clearing old curriculum can be time-consuming. Our goal is to reduce the amount of sorting, listing, packing, and hauling your staff has to manage.
For larger qualifying lots, we can review materials from photos, coordinate pickup windows, and provide basic documentation so your team has a clear record of what happened.

- Recent K–12 or collegiate curriculum
