§ 28771 District Demand Payments

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can let the district pay for things without checking each one first.
  • •This only works if the board already said 'yes' to spending money on that kind of thing.
  • •The amount spent can't be more than what the board already approved.
  • •The general manager has to say 'okay' to the payment.

Example

The school district needs to buy new chairs for classrooms.

The board already said they can spend up to $5,000 on chairs. The principal (general manager) picks chairs that cost $4,500 and approves the order. The district can pay for them without asking the board again.

The board may provide by resolution, under such terms and conditions as it sees fit, for the payment of demands against the district without prior specific approval thereof by the board if the demand is for a purpose for which an expenditure has been previously approved by the board and in an amount no greater than the amount so authorized, and if the demand is approved by the general manager.
