Response Notes

Responsive to this request, the only item from this list which is purchased at the district level is diploma covers. Given the purchase amount is under $50,000, this is done via a Purchase Order and not via contract/bid. We do have a current contract for supplemental photography, but it does not include graduation. That contract is available on our public procurement website if you are interested: https://hcpss.bonfirehub.com/publicContracts/174885#!/. 

*Some request language is summarized to include the requester's specific document requests and legally protected information (such as personally identifiable information of a student) or personal, defamatory and malicious content removed at the discretion of the school system.

**Responses containing legally protected information available only to the person of interest are omitted from the above report.
