GIFT CERTIFICATES – PROCEDURES

GIFT CERTIFICATES CANNOT BE PURCHASED FOR EMPLOYEES WITH DISTRICT MONEY AS THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) CONSIDERS THEM WAGES AND THEY MUST BE REPORTED AS INCOME AND TAXED ACCORDINGLY.

Schools and departments cannot order gift cards or gift certificates on a Contract Release Request (CR) or with a DPS Visa card.

Orders for gift cards or gift certificates must be submitted on a Purchase Requisition (PR) in Cayenta, with the exception of Blackjack Pizza. Since Blackjack Pizza does not accept purchase orders for gift certificates, sites may order directly from the regional office and pay for the gift certificates with a petty cash (imprest) check.

Blackjack Pizza

If the site (school or department) wants to purchase pizzas for a district meeting, class party, parent involvement night, etc.

  • Blackjack Pizza has agreed to honor the price of $6.50 per pizza as long as the site tells Blackjack they are part of Denver Public Schools when the order is placed
  • Payment will need to be made with a petty cash (imprest) check or a DPS Visa Purchasing Card

When the site is buying gift certificates(10 or more):

  • Order directly from the Blackjack regional office, paying with a petty cash (imprest) check
