Know the Rules of the Purchasing Road

School districts are among the biggest buyers of a wide range of products and services in almost every community. Districts are also very tightly regulated, and this includes purchasing. Districts that fail to comprehend or abide by these rules do so at their own risk. The objectives and criteria for these purchases, as well as a review of the many processes and methods the district employs to make purchases, will all be covered in this session. Administrators, department heads, business office workers, and anybody else involved in the purchase process who wants a deeper grasp of school district purchasing must take this course.
Requests for proposals, purchase orders vs contracts, staff responsibilities, district buying policies, piggyback bids, CUPCCA standards and processes, facility building and repair purchases, service contracts, and DIR regulations are some of the topics covered in this course.
