    Supplies

    Operational and Instructional supplies, when purchased in bulk by schools and departments, are shipped to the school district’s Support Services Complex Building A for cost savings and the best possible prices. When delivered to this location, warehouse personnel will verify the order and notify the requesting department or office of receipt of the shipment. Once given authorization, the warehouse will ship to locations within the district. Some orders may be delivered on regular courier days, while others may come on other days.
