Current Districtwide PSAs
Current Districtwide PSAs
We have a number of Professional Services Agreements (PSAs) that have been board-approved for districtwide use. With these PSAs, school sites may purchase services (using their own funds) without writing their own PSA. In other words, these are district-approved "vendors" with a district-approved menu of services at specific rates.
*For more information about identifying a partner for arts integration, see our Title I Arts Integration page.
How Schools Use a District PSA
How Schools Use a District PSA
TO REQUEST SERVICES:
School reads the Scope of Work to make sure what they want to do is covered in the PSA.
School ensures funding is available.
School asks the organization to provide a description of services, quantity, and rates in alignment with Scope of Work in the PSA.
NOTE: This is not a quote, and principals cannot sign a contract, agreement or quote, because the master contract is already approved.
If the PSA is already board-approved, the organization can start providing services immediately.
School drafts a requisition (E-pro) for those services and submits it through PeopleSoft.
Under “Item Description,” include the PSA number.
Remember that the services, quantity, and rates must be aligned with the Scope of Work in the PSA!
District generates a purchase order (PO), which is sent to the organization. This usually takes about 2 weeks.
AFTER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED:
Organization provides an invoice to the school for provided services.
School principal signs the invoice (anywhere, with name, title, and date), verifying that services have been rendered as stated.
School submits the invoice, with the PSA number, via email to both supctrec@sandi.net and apinvoices@sandi.net
Accounts Payable cuts check and sends to the organization, usually within 30 days of receiving an invoice.
These Board-Approved PSAs Are Available for Any District School to Use!
