Approval Of Annual Cooperative Membership And Administrative Fees
body
In compliance with Texas Education Code §44.0331, school districts are required to disclose the amounts spent on purchasing cooperative memberships and associated fees. Participation in these cooperatives grants school districts access to competitively bid contracts, supporting the district’s needs and ensuring compliance with Texas procurement laws. Additionally, the district benefits from cooperative rebate programs, which return funds based on purchasing volume, helping reduce costs and further supporting district operations.
The attached list includes membership costs for each purchasing cooperative in which the district participates.
