Transportation Fuel Pricing:
Through the end of March, the
statewide average price of diesel fuel for this fiscal year is $1.43 per
gallon. When compared to last year’s actual fuel price of $2.33, this
shows a difference of $0.90 per gallon. Recall that when using the budget
rating simulator, the fuel price differential must be entered on the
“Operations Tab” to account for this difference. You should enter “-0.90” to get a better estimate of the budget rating for this year. The
simulator can be downloaded at www.ncbussafety.org. If you have
question please contact Derek.Graham.

Benefits of North Carolina E-Procurement for
LEAs
We
have recently been in conversations with the State’s E-Procurement team in the
Department of Administration. They are excited as to how E-Procurement can help
local education agencies and charter schools save significant amounts of money
that can be used to address many needed projects in your schools.
We
would like to share with you the benefits of leveraging the State’s NC
E-Procurement for your purchases. Given the context and constraints
surrounding public school budgets, savings and efficiencies from resources like
NC E-Procurement can help our schools support their own spending priorities and
best meet the needs of our schools, students, and staff.
To
learn more about how your school can benefit from NC E-Procurement please
encourage your team, or all your executives to attend NC E-Procurement’s Public
School Executive Webinar on Wednesday, May 18th, from 10:00 – 11:30
am or Thursday, May 19th, 2:00 – 3:30 pm. To register for either
webinar, please email eptraining@doa.nc.gov.
These
webinars will be a convenient way for North Carolina LEAs to learn more about
NC E-Procurement and how to take full advantage of its benefits without
traveling. They have created two sessions to ensure that finance officers
and executives can address their priorities relating to NC E-Procurement;
however, both sessions are open to anyone from an LEA who is interested.
Overview
information on NC E-Procurement is listed below. For additional questions
or support regarding the use of NC E-Procurement in LEAs, please call Nick Kopcho
from the Department of Administration Division of Purchase and Contract at
(919) 807-5422 or Scarlett Swain
from NC E-Procurement at (919) 899-6168.Click to edit this placeholder text.
