contract executed under this section would authorize a price higher than is

contained in the price agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky for such

specific supplies.

(3)Nothing in KRS 45A.345 to 45A.990 shall deprive a local school district from

the Commonwealth of Kentucky for such specific supplies and the purchase does

not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500).
