Return Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 2:	GOODS PURCHASED CAN ONLY BE SHIPPED TO THE TEACHER'S SCHOOL, NOT TO A HOME ADDRESS. THE ORGANIZATION USES THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATIONS STATISTICS ("NCES") TO VERIFY SCHOOL INFORMATION TO ENSURE THAT THE SCHOOL IS AN ACCREDITED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, AND THAT THE MAILING ADDRESS LISTED IN THE TEACHER'S REGISTRATION INFORMATION MATCHED THE ADDRESS LISTED IN THE NCES DATABASE. FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS OR THOSE UNLISTED IN NCES, WE CALL/EMAIL THE SCHOOL TO CONFIRM USE OF INFORMATION FOUND ON THE SCHOOL WEBSITE OR PROVIDED BY THE TEACHER. ORDERS (GRANTS) ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE PROCESSED UNTIL THE SCHOOL AND MAILING ADDRESS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED. TEACHERS GENERALLY CHOOSE WHAT TO SPEND THEIR DONATED FUNDS ON FROM THE VENDORS ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. THOSE VENDORS ARE ONLY EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL SUPPLIERS, CHILDREN'S BOOK PUBLISHERS, AND OFFICE SUPPLY VENDORS. IF TEACHERS WANT TO SPEND THEIR FUNDS ON SOMETHING NOT AVAILABLE ON OUR SITE, THEY CAN SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR AN "OUT OF NETWORK" PURCHASE. THOSE ARE REVIEWED FIRST BY A STAFF PERSON. IF ANYTHING LOOKS OUT OF THE ORDINARY OR INAPPROPRIATE, THE STAFF PERSON CALLS THE TEACHER TO ASK WHY THE ITEM IS BEING REQUESTED AND WHAT IT WILL BE USED FOR. THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE REVIEWS AND APPROVES EVERY PAYMENT FOR OUT-OF-NETWORK PURCHASES. THIS ENSURES THAT ONLY ITEMS APPROPRIATE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ARE BEING PURCHASED WITH DONATED FUNDS.
