The John Glenn School Board reviewed an amendment to the corporation’s purchasing policy when they met last week.
Superintendent Christopher Winchell explained that the state has changed the threshold of what needs board approval before a purchase is made. The language of the amended policy states that any purchase of $75,000 or more must have board approval before the purchase is made.
Winchell stressed that the board approves regular expenses through the claims process, but anything that meets the threshold must have board approval before the purchase is made.
The board members approved the first reading of the policy change last week. Additional readings will be considered during the board’s next meeting Tuesday, April 4 at 7 p.m. ET.
