Jessica has been the director of a small child care and education program for only a short time now. She has instructed the staff members in her program that each month she will order the materials and equipment she believes the program needs. Under her system, if staff members need anything in the meantime, they should go out and purchase it themselves and then submit the receipt to her for reimbursement. Jessica believes that her system will make the process of obtaining equipment much easier and smoother for everyone.
