Does my vendor have to be approved?
Yes if....
All vendors have to be approved even if they were vendors prior to the this school year. Vendors also have to be approved at the time of submitting a quote and prior to receiving a purchase order.
The Professional Learning Process
Steps to the process
Please adhere to the following steps below:

- Please submit a website, LinkED In or another form of reference for OIS to vet their work with the form.
