PURCHASING

The School Committee declares its intention to purchase competitively and to seek maximum educational value for every dollar expended.

The acquisition of materials, equipment and services will be overseen by the Superintendent’s office.

The Superintendent or his/her designee will serve as purchasing agent. He/she will develop and administer the purchasing program for the schools, adhering to legal requirements and to the adopted school budget.

School purchases will be made only on official purchase orders approved for issuance by the appropriate unit head and signed by the Superintendent or designee, with such exceptions as may be made by the latter as circumstances may require and lawfully permit.
