Procurement Policy
6320 - PURCHASING
Procurement of all supplies, materials, equipment, and services paid for from District funds shall be made in accordance with all applicable Federal and State statutes, Board policies, and administrative procedures. Standards of conduct covering conflicts of interest and governing the actions of its employees engaged in the selection, award, and administration of contracts are established in Policy 1130, Policy 3110, and Policy 4110 – Conflict of Interest.
All procurement transactions shall be conducted in a manner that encourages full and open competition and in accordance with good administrative practice and sound business judgement.
Each year the State of Michigan informs the School of the legal amount for purchases which require a formal bidding process of a single item.
It is the policy of the Board that the Superintendent adhere to the following:
- Seek informal price quotations on purchases that are under one-hundred percent (100%) of the amount allowed by State statute for a single item, except in cases of emergency or when the materials purchased are of such a nature that price negotiations would not result in a savings to the School.
- When the purchase of, and contract for, single items of supplies, materials, or equipment is in excess of one-hundred percent (100%) but less than the amount allowed by State statute the Superintendent shall whenever possible, require three (3) competitive price quotations.
Purchases in a single transaction that are in excess of the dollar amount permitted by State statute shall require competitive bids and, whenever possible, have at least three (3) such bids for substantiation of purchase and shall require approval of the Board prior to purchase.
Competitive Bids
Competitive bids are not required for items purchased through the cooperative bulk purchasing program operated by the Michigan Department of Management and Budget pursuant to M.C.L. 18.1263 or any other cooperative bid.
Bids shall be sealed and shall be opened by the Director of Finance in the presence of at least one (1) witness. All orders or contracts should be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder; however, consideration can be given to:
- the quality of the item(s) to be supplied;
- its conformity with specifications;
- suitability to the requirements of the school;
- delivery terms;
- past performance of the vendor.
For purposes of this preference a Michigan-based business means a business that would qualify for a Michigan preference for procurement contracts under M.C.L. 18.1268, which requires that the businesses certify that since inception or during the last twelve (12) months it has done one of the following:
- have filed a Michigan business tax return showing an allocatio of income tax base to Michigan
- have filed a Michigan income tax return showing income generated in or attributed to Michigan
- withheld Michigan income tax from compensation paid to the bidder's owners and remitted the tax to the Michigan Department of Treasury
This preference shall not apply to any procurement or project using Federal funds, nor shall it be used if it would violate any Federal law or requirements.
The Board reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
Contracts may be awarded by the Director of Finance without Board approval for any single item or group of identical items costing less than the State approved minimum bid requirement. All other contracts require Board approval prior to purchase.
Bid Protest
A bidder who wishes to file a bid protest must file such notice and follow procedures prescribed by the Request For Proposals (RFP) or the individual bid specifications package, for resolution. Bid protests must be filed in writing with the Office of the Superintendent within seventy-two (72) hours of the opening of the bids in protest.
Within five (5) days of receipt of a protest, the Superintendent shall review the protest as submitted and render a decision regarding the merits of the protest and any impact on the acceptance and rejection of bids submitted. Notice of the filing of a bid protest shall be communicated to the Board and shall be so noted in any subsequent recommendation for the acceptance of bids and awarding of contracts.
Failure to file a notice of intent to protest, or failure to file a formal written protest within the time prescribed, shall constitute a waiver of proceedings.
General Provisions
The Superintendent is authorized to purchase all items within budget allocations.
The Superintendent is authorized to make emergency purchases, without prior approval, of those goods and/or services needed to keep the school in operation. Such purchases shall be brought to the Board’s attention at the next regular meeting.
In order to promote efficiency and economy in the operation of the school, the Board requires that the Superintendent periodically estimate requirements for standard items or classes of items and make quantity purchases on a bid basis to procure the lowest cost consistent with good quality.
Whenever storage facilities or other conditions make it impractical to receive total delivery at any one time, the total quantity to be shipped but with staggered delivery dates, shall be made a part of the bid specifications.
Before placing a purchase order, the Superintendent shall check as to whether the proposed purchase is subject to bid, whether sufficient funds exist in the budget, and whether the material might be available elsewhere in the school. All purchase orders shall be numbered consecutively.
The Board may acquire office equipment as defined in law by lease, by installment payments, by entering into lease-purchase agreements, or by lease with an option to purchase, provided the contract sets forth the terms of such a purchase.
Procurement – Federal Grants
The Superintendent shall maintain a procurement and contract administration system in accordance with the USDOE requirements (34 CFR 80.36) for the administration and management of Federal grants and federally-funded programs. The District shall maintain a compliance system that requires contractors to perform in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications of their contracts or purchase orders. Except as otherwise noted, procurement transactions shall conform to the provisions of this policy and administrative guidelines (AG 6320).

ESSER III
Return to Learn and Continuity of Services Plan - January 2024
ESSER III LEA Plan of Use Narrative
American Rescue Plan 2021 - Haslett Public Schools - 33060
1. Please describe the extent to which and how the funds will be used to implement prevention and mitigation strategies that are, to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with the most recent CDC guidance on reopening schools, in order to continuously and safely open and operate schools for in-person learning:
Haslett Public Schools is determined to keep students in school. We opened full time in the fall of 2021 and were prepared to keep students in school. We are following safe school protocols from the CDC and Ingham County Health Department. The mask mandate is honored with fidelity, we contact trace for positive cases, serial test students to keep them in school and have held vaccination clinics. The district has the proper PPE and we have hired extra workers to clean. Funds would be used to hire extra staff for cleaning and to purchase additional cleaning materials and PPE.
2. Please describe how the LEA will use the funds it reserves under section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act (see below) to address the academic impact of lost instructional time through the implementation of evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, comprehensive afterschool programs, or extended school year:
Early research suggests that remote learning had harmful effects on students both because of missed opportunities for students to successfully engage with the curriculum presented and the effect the Pandemic had on student s social and emotional well-being. These factors contributed to lower student achievement scores in both reading and math nationwide.We will offer Summer School programs, bring retired teachers into grade 1 classrooms to help with instruction and purchase chromebooks for students in sub groups that need them. We also hired an extra 1st grade teacher to address the impact remote learning had on kindergartners last year.
3. Please describe how the LEA will spend its remaining ARP ESSER funds consistent with section 2001(e)(2) of the ARP Act:School will have an SEL Team that will serve to help students that are at-risk in this area. The district will adopt a Mental Health Prevention Program that has universal support strategies that is inclusive for all students. Students will be taught what positive mental health looks and feels like, and how to seek help if they need it. We will use the Second Step and be.nice program.The MTSS program begins the year by screening students in reading and mathematics or looking at other student achievement scores such as NWEA. Students who are at-risk will participate in an intervention class that will address deficient. If students need additional intervention, we will extend their day in order to offer classes that are designed to close the identified gaps. Transportation will be provided to students when the class ends.
We will be purchasing additional curriculum for math and reading in an effort to address learning loss.
The district is putting much time and effort in making sure our schools are safe, clean and COVID free as much as possible. We have provided staff with professional development on best practice mitigation strategies, keeping buildings clean and disinfected and we wear masks in all buildings. Buildings do contract tracing and serial testing to stay in school.
4. Please describe how the LEA will ensure that the interventions it implements, including but not limited to the interventions implemented under section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act (see below) to address the academic impact of lost instructional time, will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including students from low-income families, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students.
We use evidenced based programs to help close learning gaps. Some of the programs we use are Read Naturally Live, PALS, Heggerty, and Phonics for Reading. We monitor and evaluate these programs through progress monitoring, Acadience, AIMSweb, NWEA and core curriculum assessments. K-5 data meetings are held 5-6 times/year, and at least 4 times a year at the middle and high school level. In addition, we do CST Mt. as needed for students who are not making progress.
The District is providing Social-Emotional Learning professional development for all staff this year. We are using CASEL as a framework.
Each school will have an SEL Team embedded in their Child Study Team that will serve to help students that are at-risk in this area. The team will meet with the overlying goal of helping to establish a positive school climate, helping faculty establish a sense of community with the students and families we serve, monitor student SEL screeners, and help to provide interventions to TIER II and TIER III students.
The district will use funds to increase our psychological and social worker staff to address the increased needs of students and staff.

Start Date 10/29/2023
Due Date: 10/02/2024Summary:
A trained adult advocate can help students who have fallen off track by providing individualized support to meet their academic, personal, and emotional needs. An advocate is a student's "go-to person" for the resources and support needed to graduate, and typically provides these supports for the entire time a student is enrolled in the school, or, at a minimum, for a full school year. Advocates can be school staff or not employed by the school district. Advocates can identify unmet needs and provide or coordinate more intense, individualized support to help students get back on track for graduation.

Owner: Diane Lindbert
Start Date 10/29/2023
Due Date: 10/02/2024Summary:
All of us want children throughout Michigan to be successful. An important part of student success centers around proficiency in reading. That's why a group of education experts developed new approaches for teachers to use in the classroom.
Literacy Essentials are free documents designed for Michigan educators to improve childhood literacy development. The Literacy Essentials provide research-proven, effective approaches to markedly improve literacy skills among Michigan's youngest students.
Using the Literacy Essentials with every child, in every classroom, every day will help improve literacy among our youngest learners.

Strategies:(3/4) 23g Expanding Learning Time
Owner: Diane Lindbert
Start Date 10/29/2023
Due Date: 10/02/2024Summary:
EdTrust defines expanded learning time (ELT) as programs or strategies implemented to increase the amount of instruction and learning students experience. ELT strategies include afterschool, summer, and in-school programs. The evidence suggests that extended learning time programs, including extended school day (ESD), extended school year (ESY), and expanded learning opportunities (ELO) programs that provide academic services during out-of-school time hours, can be effective in improving a range of educational outcomes for students. Findings also suggest that extended learning time programs may be more advantageous for low-income, low-performing, ethnic minorities, or otherwise disadvantaged students.

Owner: Diane Lindbert
Start Date 10/29/2023
Due Date: 10/02/2024Summary:
Tutoring, defined as supplemental one-on-one or small group instruction, can be a powerful tool for accelerated learning. Tutoring is an effective intervention because tutoring:
- customizes learning to target a student's immediate learning needs.
- provides additional instructional time by aligning the tutoring activities to current classroom activities.
- offers more engagement, rapid feedback, and less distractions in one-on-one and small group environments.
- creates meaningful mentor relationships.
