The technology department seems to do the best job in purchasing needed equipment and supplies. There are no purchasing controls. There is wasted money. The district should trim school purchasing for occupational therapy. The books for special education are not put on the textbook ordering list.
Block scheduling limits the students' choices.
Purchasing delivers supplies very slowly, especially textbooks. For example, Montague Village Elementary School is a new school with a beautiful library. But, it took 6 months to get books for the library. Some courses at Smith Middle School do not have enough textbooks for every student-even at the end of the year. Purchasing uses a bid process to select vendors for school products.
