CHICHESTER SCHOOL
DISTRICT
PURCHASING
The acquisition of supplies, equipment, and services will be centralized in the business office, which functions under the supervision of the Superintendent, and through whose office all purchasing transactions are conducted.
The Chichester School Board assigns the Superintendent 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 Chichester School District.
The business administrator will be solely responsible for the final approval of all non-educational purchases. The Superintendent or his/her designee will approve educational purchases beyond budget limitations.
The business administrator shall be responsible for all phases of purchasing in accordance with Chichester School 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.
