District joins group

Madison has become one of the first school districts in Lenawee County to join the Michigan Purchasing Card Consortium. Superintendent James Hartley said the program is a joint venture between the Michigan Association of School Boards, the Michigan School Business Officials and the Michigan Association of School Administrators. The purchasing system allows school districts to reduce the number of purchase orders and to consolidate the purchase of school supplies.
