It is Ms. Puett's responsibility to pay the district's bills. Purchase orders are issued to schools and departments for the purchase of all goods and services.

If an individual goes directly to vendor with a purchase order to buy needed supplies, they must sign for the items they purchase and then return the signed invoice to the accounting department. When invoices are received, the accounting department matches the invoice to signed receivers and appropriate purchase orders. After the invoices are processed for payment, they are sent as vouchers to the governing board for approval.

The checks are sent back to the accounting department where they are then mailed to vendors.
