School board approves emergency milk requisition to cover summer meals
Summary
The Washington County School Board approved a requisition not to exceed $50,000 to cover milk orders for end-of-year and summer school meals after an additional order exceeded the original purchase order.
The Washington County School Board approved a requisition to extend a purchase order for milk so the district can cover end-of-year and summer school reserve meals.
The item, described by district staff as an additional milk order that exceeded the purchase order issued earlier in the school year, was advanced so vendors could deliver through June 30 and the expense could be recorded in FY 2025. “This is just to extend that to ensure that we get through June 30,” a staff member said during the meeting. The board voted to approve requisition 1430250386 not to exceed $50,000; the motion was made by Board member Mister Pointer and seconded (second not specified in the record). Board clerk Jennifer called the vote and the motion was approved (vote tally not specified in the transcript).
District staff said the milk is purchased through the district’s cooperative purchasing arrangement and that the extension must be recorded in the current fiscal year because the money is being spent before June 30. The record shows the request arose from end-of-year needs and summer-school reserve meals, and staff described the purchase as being procured at the best available rate through the cooperative.
No ordinance, statute, or external approval was cited as a requirement for the purchase order; the board treated the item as an administrative requisition to be charged to the current fiscal year. The board moved directly from the public-comment period to vote on the requisition and then returned to other budget business.
