Who makes decisions on what public schools can buy ? Question Details: I am doing a paper on school safety and security. I am trying to find out how easy it is for schools to buy technology to protect the kids i.e metal detectors, XRay, keycard systems etc. Does the principal have a budget that he/she can spend in whatever way he pleases? Does he have to get large purchases approved by a school board ? How large is a large purchase? Any help would be much appreciated
