MSBA is presenting 11 school districts in the state checks totaling nearly $55,000 for their participation in the association's procurement card (
P-Card) program. The
P-Card program saves school districts money by improving controls over spending and reducing paperwork for staff. By using the
P-Card for purchases, school districts have the ability to restrict purchases to only certain product categories and implement spending limits for each cardholder. Participating districts also receive a rebate based on the purchases they make using the card.
The 11 districts receiving a rebate are
Nixa R-II,
Park Hill,
Columbia,
Webster Groves,
Grain Valley,
Northwest R-I,
School of the Osage, Spokane R-VII,
Pleasant Hill R-III, Logan-Rogersville R-VIII, and
Raymore-Peculiar R-II.
The
P-Card program was first offered by MSBA in 2005. The service provider is Harris Bank of Illinois.
