§ 103221 District Contracting Authority

This law lets the school district make deals with any U.S. government department, any public agency, or any private person, as long as the board thinks the deal is good for the district.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can choose who to contract with – federal agencies, public agencies, or private people.
  • •The board must believe the contract is best for the district.
  • •There are no special limits on the type of contract, as long as the board approves it.

Example

The district wants a new computer lab and signs a contract with a private tech company to supply the computers.

Because the board decides the contract is in the district’s best interest, the district can legally sign the agreement with the private company under this law.
