[DJ: Purchasing]

The acquisition of supplies, equipment, and services will be centralized in the finance office, which functions under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer and Superintendent, and through whose office all purchasing transactions are conducted.

The Board assigns the Superintendent or their designee the responsibility for the quality and quantity of purchases made. The prime guidelines governing this responsibility are that all purchases fall within the framework of budgetary limitations and that they be consistent with the approved educational goals and programs of the District.

The Chief Financial Officer will be solely responsible for the final approval of all non-educational purchases. The Superintendent or their designee will approve educational purchases beyond budget limitations. The Chief Financial Officer or designee is responsible for all phases of purchasing in accordance with Board Policy; for requisitions, current order purchasing, writing of specifications for bids, deliveries, storage, and other tasks related to the purchases, acceptance, and distribution of supplies.
