    Two or more districts may jointly pool their requirements and resources and designate one school board, or the Department of Education, to act as agent for all in the requisitioning, bidding, and purchasing of services or commodities. Each district participating in such a pool purchase shall pay its pro rata cost to the district designated as the agent district and each district shall show only the net cost of such purchases in its annual report. The superintendent of the agent district shall in each case furnish each cooperating district a statement certifying that the purchase complied with all applicable laws and rules. If the Department of Education is designated as the agent, purchases shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the Division of Purchasing of the Department of Management Services and such purchases shall be deemed to satisfy the legal requirements of each participating district.
