Board raises procurement thresholds to $10,000 and updates capital‑asset policy
Summary
Trustees voted to revise policy 6210 to raise the purchasing authorization threshold from $5,000 to $10,000 and adopted policy 6801 to increase the capital/ theft‑sensitive asset threshold to $10,000, citing inflation and alignment with state law.
The board approved two policy changes that raise dollar thresholds used for purchasing authorization and capital‑asset reporting.
Diana explained the change to policy 6210, saying “the law now allows us to go start at 10,000 as opposed to 5,000 primarily because of inflationary costs.” The revision raises the district's purchasing authorization floor to $10,000. Trustees discussed federally funded inventory (computers purchased through E‑Rate) and confirmed those items remain subject to federal tracking rules.
The board subsequently approved a companion update to policy 6801 (capital assets/theft‑sensitive assets), also moving the reporting threshold to $10,000. Both motions passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition on the transcript.
