Procedures for District Charge Card Purchases
**Campuses will receive a grocery store charge card. Cards must be secured in the campus safe and signed out as needed, and must be returned immediately after use. The Bookkeeper should keep a card log with the date and name of the person being issued the card.
Project purchase orders are to be setup with your Campus (461) Accounts. Be sure you submit your requisition requests timely so as not to incur unauthorized purchases. Account limits listed below are per school year.
- High Schools $3,000.00
- Middle Schools $1,500.00
- Elementary Schools $1,000.00
Abuse of these cards will result in privileges being revoked, fines if the card is lost or stolen and if receipts are not turned in to the bookkeeper immediately after use.
Purchases made with these cards are for food, snacks, and food related items only! Other items may be purchased with the approval of the Purchasing department.
