Summary:
The most significant legislative change in the purchasing and contracting field this session will allow local school units to make purchases using locally administered procedures under the same laws currently used by cities, counties, and other local governments—rather than through the Department of Administration. The transition to the new system is tied to a continuing requirement for schools to use the state’s E-Procurement system and to the process of establishing the technical capacity needed to operate the system through financial systems already in use by school systems throughout the state.
