PURCHASING

The School Committee declares its intention to purchase competitively without prejudice and to seek maximum educational value for every dollar expended.

The acquisition of materials, equipment and services will be centralized in the Superintendent’s office of the school system.

The Director of Finance and Business Operations will serve as purchasing agent. He/she will develop and administer the purchasing program for the schools in keeping with legal requirements and with the adopted school budget.

School purchases will be made only on official purchase orders initiated by appropriate unit head, approved by the Director of Finance and Business Operations and signed by the Superintendent, with such exceptions as may be made by the latter for emergency purchases.
