§ 6273 District Work Without Contracts

This law lets a district do its own building or fixing projects without having to hire outside contractors, as long as its own officers or employees run the work.

Key Takeaways

  • •The district can handle projects on its own.
  • •No need to go through a bidding or contract process.
  • •The work must be directed by the district’s officers or employees.

Example

The school district wants to repair a playground fence and decides its maintenance crew will do the job instead of hiring a private company.

Because the law says the district can do the work itself without a contract, the district can tell its own workers to fix the fence and they can do it under the direction of the district’s officers.
