Purchasing and Warehouse Services

3222 Winona Way Suite 200, North Highlands, CA 95660

The Purchasing, Warehouse, Print, and Mail Department supports the goal of the district to close the achievement gap through the following:

Customer Service: Improve service to our schools and departments, by making the delivery of services fast, efficient and available. We want all students and staff to know that their needs are met to prepare them for learning and achieving.
Standardization and Equalization: We will save time and money by standardization of goods and services. This will help keep the quality of products equal at all sites, and provide the opportunity for schools to take advantage of the benefits of a centralized service center.
Streamline the Process: Make use of technology to provide efficiency in the system. Move quickly to implement the remote submission of requisitions, warehouse orders and print orders. By making the process more efficient, teachers and school staff will spend their time with students, not paperwork.
