Looking at the district’s formal “Purchasing and Acquisition” policy some things trouble me.
From the policy:
“The Board delegates to the Superintendent the authority to make budgeted purchases of goods and services that cost up to $100,000 and other purchases of goods and services in accordance with other provisions in this policy.”
Presumably that means that the board does not even have to be notified of the purchase.
Then further from the policy:
“The Superintendent shall also be authorized to approve budgeted purchases of goods and services made in accordance with an inter-local cooperative contract up to $250,000 per vendor in the aggregate of a 12 month period.”
In light of what we have seen in the past, this seems dangerous to me.
It is particularly troubling if in fact the board (and therefor the public) do not have to be informed of these purchases.
Is the board to busy to even look at how our money is spent?
We deserve better

They learned nothing from the Lorenzo Garcia situation. This is no way to run a school district that has financial problems and a history of corruption in both the school district and local government.
