The District utilizes Educational Data Services for annual supply orders. Staff members can place their orders at www.eddataonline.com. User ID’s and passwords can be obtained from the Business Office. Each user has a budget that cannot be exceeded. Approval chains are established in this system so that all users’ orders are approved by their supervisor and the BA. Once approved, Educational Data Services will prepare a file to be imported into ALIO by the Business Office. This file will generate the purchase orders that will be faxed or emailed to vendors by the Business Office.
All other items that require Public Bidding are procured by the Business office. A specification must be prepared that describes the goods or services required in detail. The Business Office will advertise for the good or service and provide all of the required legal documents that must accompany a public bid. Once proposals are received and opened, only the Board of Education can award a contract at a public meeting
