A centralized purchasing function can also be performed on a regional level through a cooperative/interlocal agreement among districts or the regional education service center. Cost savings through a regional centralized purchasing function are achieved through both discounted prices and administrative cost savings to individual districts.

The purchasing cooperative/interlocal agreements utilized by our district are as follows. Additionally each of these cooperatives maintains websites to awarded contract and vendors that we can purchase from. Please contact the Director of Finance at extension 1416 in regards to using the cooperatives.
