Personal Experience with using the P-Card

Spring Orders – Arrive within 2 weeks – No Backorders

Convenience – Travel for sporting teams – can make changes to limits on cards depending what the card is being used for

Specific – District can make card so specific that only food may be purchased with card or maybe just fuel

Card Numbers – Can vary between schools – Track Department, FCCLA, BPA, ETC… Easy way to track all expenditures to a certain department.
