Warehouse inventory items shall be used whenever possible. Items commonly used by several subject areas or departments at a site are to be stored in the site's central supply room. Orders for individual subject-area departments at schools should be limited to items of special use in those departments.

Sufficient stock should be maintained by sites to eliminate emergency ordering. Sites should maintain sufficient stock to operate for a reasonable period of time, a minimum of 30 days' supply, normally 90 days; schools should ensure that materials are on hand to supply summer school needs.

Deliveries of warehouse inventory items are made weekly to all locations. Orders must be placed and approved 2 days prior to regularly scheduled delivery day. When the scheduled delivery day is a school holiday or high school graduation day, orders should be placed a week early. Otherwise, delivery will occur the following week. Only items listed which have not been deleted and are acceptable for reissue stock may be returned for credit up to 15 days after receipt.
