​​
​​​Request for Disposition of Property

Section 13-6-2, NMSA, 1978, provides that a school district is empowered to sell or otherwise dispose of real or personal property belonging to the school district. ​

A disposition is any sale, lease, trade, exchange, and/or gift.  In essence, this means to remove the item from the primary control of the school district.  

In accordance with Section 13-6, NMSA, 1978, the district must obtain persmission from either the Public Education Department (PED), State Board of Finance (SBF), or State Auditor’s Office (SAO) on any and all dispositions of property (Lease, Sell, Exchange, or other disposition) depending on the value or terms of the lease.

Approval is needed from the appropriate entity as listed below:​

 

State Auditor’s Office (SAO)

    • Negotiated sale to any governmental unit of an Indian nation, tribe or pueblo in New Mexico, or by negotiated sale or donation to other state agencies, local public bodies, school districts, state educational institutions or municipalities,
    • Sale at public auction,
    • Destruction,
    • Disposal of hazardous materials in compliance with environmental regulations, and
    • Sale through solicitation of written bids through the state purchasing division.

​​​​​​What is a Chief Procurement Officer?

Definition

13-1-38.1. Definition; chief procurement officer:

“Chief procurement officer” means that person within a state agency’s or local public body’s central purchasing office who is responsible for the control of procurement of item’s of tangible personal property, services or construction.  “Chief procurement officer” includes the state purchasing agent.

Each State Agency and Local Public Body is to identify its Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) by January 1, 2014.

To register a CPO for your Charter School, please visit this website.  

Required Training for the CPO

13-1-95.2.C

“The state purchasing agent shall offer a certification training program for chief procurement officers each year.”

13-1-95.2.D

​On or before January 1, 2015, the state purchasing agent shall establish a certification program for chief procurement officers that includes initial certification and recertification every two years for all chief procurement officers.  In order to be recertified, a chief procurement officer shall pass a recertification examination approved by the secretary of general services.

For more information about the required training for CPO’s, please visit the State Purchasing section of the NM General Services Department’s website here.

Who should be selected as the CPO?

This is a very good question, one that both charter law attorneys and procurement experts have not been able to give an across-the-board answer for.  It has been suggested that a full time employee of the Charter School, who makes the decisions regarding purchasing, be selected as the Chief Procurement Officer.  This could include the Executive Director or Principal.

Can a Business Manager be selected as the Charter School’s CPO?

A Business Manager can be selected as the CPO, however, if your charter school contracts with an outside company for Business Management Services, then that Business Manager would not be a full time employee of the school.  This would put the contracted Business Manager at risk for liability.

Keep in mind that a Business Manager facilitates the decisions regarding purchasing, but someone else may be making the actual selections on what to purchase.
