The Purchasing Department assists our schools and departments in the acquisition of needed goods and services. We also serve as good stewards of taxpayer dollars, ensuring that district business transactions are compliant through an open and fair atmosphere, applicable laws, contract management, and Board of Education Policies.

We offer guidance on district best practices, develop strong strategic relationships with suppliers, and maximize our buying strategies to ensure our students have the best tools and resources possible. Ultimately, we award contracts and purchases based on what is the best value for the district now and in the future.

Department Mission Statement

We dedicate ourselves to cultivating a procurement environment that reflects the highest ethical standards, ensuring the wise and responsible use of resources.

Department Core Values

Integrity

Integrity is the cornerstone of our mission. We uphold transparency and honesty in every transaction, encouraging a culture of trust among our stakeholders. We recognize that the responsible allocation of resources directly impacts the quality of education and support services provided to our students and staff.

Responsibility

We take pride in our duty to source goods and services in a manner that is both fiscally responsible and ensures optimal value for our educational community. Through careful planning and prudent decision-making, we aim to optimize the value of every dollar spent, mindful of the broader impact on the educational experience.

Relationships

Building lasting relationships is integral to our success. We actively engage with vendors, school staff, and the community, forging partnerships that enhance our ability to meet the evolving needs of our district. Through collaborative connections, we strive to create a procurement network that benefits not only the district but also the larger community.
