Purchasing: Authorization and Control
The board authorizes the superintendent to direct expenditures and purchases, within the limits of the detailed annual budget, for the school year. Board approval for purchase of capital outlay items is required when the aggregate total of a requisition exceeds $10,000 except that the superintendent will have the authority to make capital outlay purchases without advance approval when it is necessary to protect the interests of the district or the health and safety of the staff or students.
The superintendent will establish requisition and purchase order procedures as a means of monitoring the expenditure of funds. Staff members who obligate the district without proper prior authorization may be held personally responsible for payment of such obligations.
