LCS Leases/Contracts & Copier Leases

When the purchase price exceeds $5,000.00 for a single piece of equipment or group of items, the school or administrative site may elect to enter into a Lease Agreement for said equipment. Types of equipment that may be leased are computer hardware and software, copiers, vehicles, portable buildings and other large dollar value items.

All leases must be approved by the Leon County School Board or they will not be valid. Only the Chairman of the School Board may sign a lease agreement obligating the School District of Leon County.

The Leon County School Board occasionally enters into contracts for professional or technical services. Contracts must be approved by the Director of Purchasing prior to services being provided. A Professional/Technical Services Agreement (PTSA) must be completed by the requesting department or school and forwarded to the Purchasing Department. Proof of liability insurance must be provided with the PTSA or a waiver must be submitted.
