. . . an assistant principal at the school where I was teaching decided to throw out the contents of some filing cabinets without consulting anyone. He trashed several decades' worth of repair manuals and parts books that were absolutely irreplaceable! . . .

My guess is the Asst Principal was a former Phys Ed teacher?
No humanities or shop teacher would have thrown that out. The Shop Teacher would have known better; and, the humanities teacher could never throw out a manual/book.
