PURCHASE CARD USE
Staff use of a district purchase card (P-card) shall be confined to necessary school business. The Board shall annually prescribe limits and restrictions on the use of the P-cards. P-card use shall be reported monthly to the Board.
Staff seeking information about P-card use should visit with their administrator. Deliberate misuse of district P-cards is grounds for termination and reporting of criminal activity.
Each P-card is unique. The card has the cardholder’s name embossed on it and certain limits and restrictions apply to each card. P-Card increases must be requested through your administrator at least 24 hours in advance. Administrators need to contact the business office, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with the required increases.
This card should only be used by the Cardholder. NO OTHER PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO USE THIS CARD. The Cardholder may make transactions on behalf of others in their department. However, the Cardholder is responsible for business validity of use of their card and must have proper documentation.
An itemized receipt must be included for every purchase on the card. If an itemized receipt is not included, the employee will be held responsible for that charge.
Use of the P-card:
• Provides an additional method of payment. It is not a means to circumvent the purchase requisition process.
• The card may be used for travel expenses including airfare, hotels, registration, meals, parking and tolls for the days of the conference only.
• The cost of meals, including gratuity, may not exceed the following limits when using the district P-card:
Breakfast.....................$ 8.00 Lunch ..........................$12.00 Dinner .........................$15.00
If you wish to exceed the meal allowance, you will need to pay for the meal and request reimbursement up to the allowed meal limit.
