Vendor Approval Process
Parents are free to choose curriculum and services that appropriately address their child’s educational needs. Each student is allotted a certain amount of instructional funding which may be used to purchase materials or to pay for approved educational activities and services. Parents initiate the vendor approval process when they locate a vendor from whom they would like the school to purchase goods or services, using school instructional funding. When a parent finds a vendor they are interested in getting approved, they approach the vendor to see if they are interested in becoming approved and working with Golden Valley. If the vendor is interested, the parent works with their EF to complete the Vendor Approval Request Form. The following describes the process for vendor approval:
- A Vendor Approval Request Form will be submitted by an EF during the available submission windows: August through September; December through January. Please be sure to provide all information requested by your EF.
- The Director of Curriculum and Assessment will review the submission and either approve or deny the request. Once initial approval has been given by the Director of Curriculum and Assessment, a packet of information will be sent for the vendor to fill out.
- Once the vendor sends in a completed packet with all required information included, they will be added to our vendor list for student use.
