Contractual Buying
In adopting a calendar for the current year, the School Board had specifically set the September meeting for a discussion on contractual buying. Board member Walter Masterson repeated the contention that he’s stated on several previous occasions—that the schools could save money and storage space by combining with other systems to buy items that are regularly purchased, such as paper and cleaning supplies.
In addition to controlling inventory, contractual buying would allow great savings as demonstrated by the last year's contract with a bread company to buy bread and rolls for school lunches, according to Masterson. "It’s nothing but good business procedure (when) you contract for bulk," he stated.
Masterson charged that school personnel have not investigated prices before contracting to purchase supplies. Instead, supplies are ordered, bills come in and are then paid by the administration, he said. He noted that supply trucks on their way to Warren County, Culpeper and Charlottesville go right by both Rappahannock schools, making it easy to arrange delivery if contractual agreements with those systems could be worked out.
