DK Payment Procedures

PAYMENT PROCEDURES

All claims for payment from School Department funds will be pro­cessed in accordance with regulations developed by the Superintendent. Payment will be authorized against invoices properly support­ed by approved purchase orders, with properly submitted vouchers, or in accordance with salaries and salary schedules approved by the School Committee.

As an operating procedure, the Committee will receive regular lists of bills for payment from School Department funds. The lists will be certified as correct and approved for payment by the School Committee and then forwarded to the town accountant for processing and payment by the town treasurer. Actual invoices, state­ments, and vouchers will be available for inspection by the School Committee.

The Superintendent will be responsible for assuring that budget al­locations are observed and that total expenditures do not exceed the amount allocated in the budget for all items.

The school building administrators will be responsible for observing budget allocations in their respective schools.
