The attached minutes and accompanying documents provide detail on the presentations, discussions, and decisions of the committee. Some significant highlights follow:

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

As stated in the OPPAGGA report, "Efficient purchasing and warehousing requires that management processes be in place to ensure that supplies, equipment, and services vital to the school's education mission are purchased from a competitive source, in the right quantity, delivered timely to the correct location, and stored in a secure location. These criteria should be met for each purchase without sacrificing quality."

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

The quarterly review ensures the district is receiving maximum value on product and services during the term of the original contract signed by the School Board in May 2006.

EVALUATION

The report to the board provides accountability for monitoring the contract and the negotiated benefits.
