We wanted to make all schools aware of the (125) light maple desktops we are storing in the ASB Surplus Warehouse. They are 18" x 24" and are brand new. If your school is in need of these desktops please contact Kris Wishart at (88709) or by email (kris.wishart@jordandistrict.org). We will post them on PublicSurplus.com for reallocation for the next month. We also have brought in many student desks and various sizes of student chairs if you are in need of those as well.

As always you are more than welcome to come by and take a look at what is available in the ASB Surplus Warehouse.

SPECIAL PROJECTS REQUEST AND COMPLETION PROCESS

  • The Principal submits a request, in Sprocket, for a Special Project.
  • The request is then routed to Dan Bourgeois in order in order for him to provide an estimate.
  • Once an estimate has been provided, Dan then assigns the request back to the Principal.
  • If the Principal agrees to the estimate, the Principal approves it and routes it to his/her Administrator of Schools.
  • The Administrator of Schools can either approve or deny the Special Project.
  • Judy Bird then completes a Journal Entry from the appropriate accounting code.
  • The Journal Entry is completed by Judy.
  • The Special Project request and the Journal Entry will then be signed by the Staff Assistant of Auxiliary Services.
  • After the Special Project request is signed, it is forwarded to the school for the Principal’s signature.
  • The Principal will then send back the signed Journal Entry to Judy Bird at Auxiliary Services. (School can pay with a check if they prefer.)
  • The original signed Journal Entry is then forwarded to Accounting.
  • Judy Bird then approves the project estimate in sprocket.
  • The Special Project is then forwarded to Dan Bourgeois to have the work completed.

 

Things to Keep In Mind that May Slow Down the Process

There are 4 ways a Special Project request can be delayed.

  1. Awaiting Administrator of Schools approval
  2. Awaiting Auxiliary Services approval
  3. Awaiting Principal approval
  4. Awaiting budget estimate
