McHENRY – School District 156 could issue “procurement cards,” similar to credit cards, to a dozen administrators and department heads for job-related purchases and expenses.

The district’s Finance Committee discussed BMO Harris Bank’s “p-card program” Tuesday night. It’s sponsored through the Illinois Association of School Business Officials.

P-cards are intended to streamline the purchase-order process for school districts, and, according to the association’s website, identify small transactions created each month and consolidate most into one payment.
