The Round Rock ISD Purchasing Department has been recognized by the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO) as the recipient of the Award of Merit for Purchasing Operations, honoring the district’s commitment and efforts in utilizing best practices in acquiring goods and services.
“We are very proud of the diligent work of our Purchasing Department and their continued commitment to serving our students,” Superintendent Azaiez said. “Danny and his department are an incredible team that makes sure to not only supply our classrooms and programs with the best possible resources but also continue to comply with purchasing laws and be mindful and responsible to our taxpayers and community.”
The TASBO Award of Merit program was established in 2009 to recognize school districts that display excellence in their procurement policies and procedures. The extensive application process identifies the top districts throughout the state that work to streamline purchasing operations, comply with regulations, and set the standard for utilizing taxpayer dollars best. The Round Rock ISD Purchasing Department has received the Award of Merit every year since the program’s inception.
Danny Poolman is the Purchasing and Materials Management Director, and Elissa Slape is the Purchasing Manager. Denisa Page, Margie Davis, Jody Farris, Rachel Perkins, Mary Kirby, Cassie Kindard, and Annette Landry are purchasing buyers and specialists.
This award will be presented to the Purchasing Department in February at the TASBO 2025 Annual Conference.
