The Board believes in purchasing competitively and seeking maximum educational value for every dollar expended through good purchasing practices which give consideration to the following:

• the vendor/manufacturer of the product can demonstrate supporting sustainability of our environment through recognized certifications and standards within the industry

• the vendor/manufacturer of the product can provide evidence of recognized acceptable social ethical standards through policies, practices, and procedures

• all factors being equal, preference shall be given to local, provincial, and national suppliers in that order.
