Introduction to Contracts

Welcome to the Contract Section for Purchasing Services! Purchasing Services is responsible for the review and approval of all contracts throughout the District.

District departments and school sites frequently enter into contracts for the following:

Consultants
Entertainment (i.e. disc jockeys, photo booths, catering, presentations)
Facility Rentals
Professional Development
Software Licenses

PLEASE NOTE: Not all fieldtrip and/or fundraising agreements need to be approved by Purchasing Services. Please review their respective sections of Purchasing Services' website for additional information.

Prior to entering into a contract, the contract must be reviewed and approved by Purchasing Services. Please remember, in accordance with the School Board Policy, only the Superintendent or Purchasing Director has the authority to bind the District.

To initiate the approval process, the requesting department or school site must enter the contract into Munis. When submitting a contract, please be sure to allow sufficient time for the approval process. Purchasing Services highly suggests that contracts are submitted at least two (2) weeks prior to the anticipated start date.

Request for Payment

Purchasing Services will NOT approve any contract that has already commenced. The requesting department or school site will have to submit a "Request for Payment" to Finance.
