Publisher's summary

The Board of Education (Board) and District officials did not always procure goods and services in a competitive manner. Officials did not update the procurement policy or ensure that employees followed New York State General Municipal Law (GML) when procuring goods and services. As a result, goods and services were purchased without the benefit of competition, resulting in the increased risk that taxpayer dollars were not expended in the most prudent and economical manner.
