Legal Department

To provide schools and administrative offices with goods and services they need, the Legal Department has developed several template contracts, memoranda of understanding and master agreements to enable efficient and compliant procurement.   

To provide schools and administrative offices with goods and services they need, the Legal Department has developed templates for specific types of contracts, master agreements, and specialized forms for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).  All contracts and MOUs must be approved by the Board of Education.

Remember that MOUs on SFUSD’s standard template are completed by service providers through an online platform.  Visit www.sfusd.edu/mou for more information about standard, online MOUs.  See this summary of services that need special MOU forms.

Visit SFUSD's Manage Partnerships page for more info about working with external organizations and volunteers.
