Superintendent recommends $150,000 superintendent spending threshold to increase purchasing transparency
Summary
Superintendent Krista Nieraeth proposed revising the district purchasing policy to set a superintendent spending threshold at $150,000 (advising not to set it below $100,000); the board indicated the recommended amount seemed appropriate and will consider it in revisions.
During the informational first read of policy DJ (District Purchasing), Superintendent Krista Nieraeth told the board she favors adding transparency by placing a dollar limit on superintendent-authorized spending. She advised the board not to set the limit below $100,000 because of the district's bills, and recommended a $150,000 threshold; board members indicated that amount appeared appropriate.
No formal vote was taken at the April meeting because the item was a first read; Nieraeth referred board members to comparative figures from other districts in the information packet and suggested the board consider the threshold as a policy change in a future meeting.
