The John Glenn School Board members will consider the second reading of an amendment to a purchasing policy when they meet tonight.
Superintendent Christopher Winchell previously 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 will also approve a resolution that authorizes the transfer of funds from the Education Fund to the Operations Fund in the amount of $141,666.67, and they will review a request for an overnight field trip for the North Liberty Elementary School Robotics team.
The John Glenn School Board will meet at 7 p.m. ET tonight in the Administration Building on the campus of the High School at 101 John Glenn Drive in Walkerton.
