Contract Signature Authorization
Only the following administrators from Irving ISD are authorized to sign contracts or obligate funds for purchases on behalf of the district:
Magda Hernández - Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Juan Carlos Martinez - Deputy Superintendent of Human Resources
Ahna Gomez - Deputy Superintendent of Leadership & Learning
Dr. Andre Smith - Chief of Administrative Services
Fernando Natividad - Chief Financial Officer
Devendra Shah - Chief of Technology & Innovation
Dorian Galindo - Chief of Staff
Jerome Pilgrim - Director of Purchasing (Purchase Orders)
No other district employee is authorized to sign contracts or obligate funds on the district's behalf. Any contract, purchase order or other document signed by anyone not listed above will not be considered binding and legal in any manner. Campuses and other departments are not separate legal entities and therefore not able to enter contractual arrangements separate from the district as a whole.
Notification of Criminal History
Texas Education Code, Section 44.034 requires that a person or business entity that enters into a contract with a school district must give advance notice if that person or an owner or operator of the business has been convicted of a felony. Contracts may be terminated for failure to give notice or if conduct is misrepresented. A certification page is included in all requests for bids and proposals but if a vendor is doing business by Purchase Orders, a notification form is still required for such convictions.
Conflict of Interest
Effective May 25, 2007, Section 176.006, Local Government Code requires that persons or agents who enter or seek to enter into a contract with a local government entity shall file a completed conflict of interest questionnaire (Form CIQ), if they have an employment or other business relationship with an officer or family member of an officer of the entity or have given the officer or family member gifts in excess of $250 aggregated over a twelve-month period. Failure to disclose this information is a Class C misdemeanor. This requirement will be addressed in all request for bids or proposals but vendors doing business with the district by purchase order must also complete this form.
