We want employees who recognize and embrace the importance of a strong partnership between schools and Central Services.

Manages and facilitates the procurement of goods and services for all DCPS schools and central services, that fosters transparency, maximizes buying power, promotes equity of spending with local vendors, and ensures compliance with contractual requirements.
- **Procurement Operations**: Oversees the DCPS purchase card program which allows for the quick procurement of small amounts of goods and services. Addresses anti-deficient or improper procurements through the ratification process. Work closely with schools and Central Services programs to assist with day-to-day procurement questions and issues to ensure efficient procurement practices.
