I do all of the purchasing except for some miscellaneous smaller things that mentors decide to buy and donate.

In the first few years, I put everything on my own credit card and got reimbursed through our 501c3 organization. I didn't like that, although it did give me the ability to buy stuff on zero notice without having to go through a purchasing process. Now the district rules are stricter, so I do requisitions and buy things through purchase orders when possible and use a school credit card otherwise. I buy little stuff here and there on my own card without getting reimbursed.

I'd love to have another mentor handle purchasing, but I'm the only teacher on the team, and a school employee has to do the purchasing.

We have no formal process for keeping inventory, although I have a decent idea what we have. When students want something, I usually have them send me the detailed information via email rather than telling me "I want XYZ" in passing and expecting magic to happen.
