          THANK YOU, MR MARSH. GOOD EVENING, DR BLACK AND THE REST OF THE BOARD. UM SO WE JUST WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT ABOUT THE PURCHASING PROCESS AND HOW IT WORKS, AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A BUNCH OF STUFF ON THERE TONIGHT FOR THE PURCHASING. PRE ORDER APPROVING THE CONSENT ITEMS, SO JUST TO KIND OF TALK, PURCHASING. UM THERE'S REALLY THREE TYPES OF PURCHASES. THERE'S A NEW BID. THERE'S RENEWAL'S AND THERE'S WHAT WE CALL PERPETUAL BIDS. AND YOU CAN SEE, UH. WE JUST HAD ALL OF THEM. SORRY. SO I J AND K, UM , CONSENT ITEMS I, J AND K ARE ALL PERPETUAL BIDS, WHICH THEY THERE YEAR ROUND, WHICH UM, TO HELP US AS A DISTRICT WE ALL WE LEAVE THOSE BIDS OPEN BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS NEW VENDORS THAT ARE COMING ABOUT NEW NEW CONTRACTS WERE TRYING TO GET SO WE DO THE BIDS OPEN AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT ALLOWS US TO GIVE THE ABILITY THE ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE VENDORS. ONCE YOU ALL APPROVED THESE BIDS, SO WE LEAVE THE BIDS OPEN AND WE VET THEM AND IF THEY PASS THE BID PROCESS AND WE WERE GOING TO NEGOTIATE WITH NEGOTIATIONS WITH THEM. SO THE ITEM E IS THE PURCHASING REPORT? AND BECAUSE I PURCHASED LAW WORKS ANYTHING IN THE AGGREGATE FOR FISCAL YEAR THAT'S OVER. 50 K HAS TO BE COMPETITIVELY PROCURED, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE TO BID IT OUT. SO IT CAN BE A PEN OR A PENCIL. IF WE'RE GOING TO BUY $50,000 WORTH OF CLASSROOM SUPPLIES OR SCHOOL SUPPLIES. THE DISTRICT WIRE WILL GO WELL OVER 50,000 FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING. SO WHAT THE STATE HAS ALLOWED US TO, UM, BE A PART OF COOPERATIVES. SO WHAT IT IS LIKE, WELL, BID SOMETHING OUT. AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH OTHER DISTRICTS. WHEN WE SIGN IN A LOCAL AGREEMENTS, WHICH IS PART OF THE BID, THEY ARE APPROVING CHINA AS WELL. SO LIKE I SAID, IF WE HAD TO BUILD OUT EVERY PENNY EVERY PENCIL, EVERY ERASER STUFF LIKE THAT IT WOULD REALLY BOGGED DOWN AND WE WOULD REALLY COST A LOT OF MONEY TO POST BIDS TO ADVERTISE THEM TOO CLOSE INTO OPEN THEM ON AND STUFF. SO THE CO OPERATIVES ARE REALLY GOOD SOURCE FOR THE DISTRICT TWO. UM LIKE MAXIMIZE OUR DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO PIGGYBACK AFTER OFF OF OTHER DISTRICTS, CONTRACTS AS WELL. SO THAT'S WHAT THE BEDS ARE. THAT'S WHAT THE INTER LOCAL AGREEMENTS ARE. AND THAT'S LIKE ITEM G AND H ARE THE SAME AS ITEM C, BUT WE JUST KIND OF BECAUSE THEY'RE NEWER CONTRACTS FOR US. SO WE, WE PUT THEM SEPARATELY JUST TO POINT THEM OUT TO YOU ALL THAT WE'RE ACTING TO MORE COOPERATIVES TO THE LIST. SO THERE'S ANY QUESTION ANY OF THIS STUFF THEN I CAN TAKE IT AT THIS TIME.
