Our Purchasing team is comprised of three staff members responsible for the procurement of a diverse range of goods and services for School District No. 57 senior administration, schools and departments.

Purchasing Team Oversight

Source, evaluate, negotiate, and monitor short- and long-term supply and equipment contracts to ensure quality, cost-effectiveness, vendor performance, and compliance with procurement requirements.

Prepare and issue legally compliant procurement documents, including Tenders, Requests for Quotations (RFQs), Request for Proposals (RFPs), Notices of Intent (NOIs), and related competitive solicitation documents.

Serve as the primary liaison between vendors and end users to ensure overall satisfaction with supplies, equipment, and services, and to facilitate the timely resolution of issues and concerns.

Monitor and approve purchases initiated by schools and departments across the district to ensure compliance with procurement policies, budget requirements, contractual obligations, and applicable legislation.

Ensure that a fair, transparent, and legally compliant competitive bidding process is consistently practiced and enforced across all schools and departments to achieve the best overall value for each public dollar spent.
