Imprest to P-Card Transition Update
-
To support more efficient, accountable school purchasing, the District is expanding the use of the Procurement
Card (P-Card) by increasing the types of purchases that can be made with the card. Effective July 1, 2025, items
previously restricted on the P-Card, such as food, will be permitted. All purchases previously made through Imprest
bank accounts will be transitioned to the P-Card, and Imprest accounts will be discontinued as of October 31, 2025.
To provide schools and offices with the necessary information to facilitate the transition from Imprest bank
accounts to the P-Card, the District has provided the following support:
