The School Board endorses the concept of centralized purchasing and directs the Superintendent to develop and maintain a purchasing system for all supplies, equipment, and materials in accordance with state law and acceptable purchasing practices. All purchasing transactions will be authorized on properly signed purchase orders administrated through the Superintendent. Purchasing or the incurrance of obligations on behalf of the school district may only be made within the framework of the School Board adopted budgets. The basic objective of the purchasing department shall be to buy products and services required for District operations consistent with the best price, service, and delivery obtainable. District personnel shall seek out community businesses for quotes and for bids for all District purchases.
Employee determines the supply of material needed and fills out a proper purchase order sheet.
Principal forwards the purchase order to the superintendent who has final determination of the purchase order. Copies of all orders shall by systematically filed so that when materials are received they may be checked off on the original order. This shall be done on proper forms provided by the superintendent's office. It is expected that each teacher will have previously submitted requests to the principal. It will be the duty of the superintendent to examine the requisitions, approve or disapprove them, and process them into orders for summer delivery.
