Re: How does your team make purchases?

It's hard to get a school to jive w/ such a system, but it is a huge competitive advantage to be able to order what and when you want (as long as you're within budget).
It's possible to be pretty agile with a combination of open purchase orders and credit cards if the district and team are both doing their parts effectively. For a handful of vendors that get used often, it's not that difficult to create open purchase orders in advance and then order stuff as you go. Those types of orders aren't any more cumbersome for me than buying with a credit card on the spot.

The trouble always comes in when either the team or the district isn't able to use actual sense to make decisions. I know that some places have super strict purchasing rules, and I'm sure that creates some real headaches and even lowers the competitive ceiling for a team.
