The Business and Finance Department reports to the Superintendent.
 

Responsibilities / Level of Activity:

The Finance Department is an integral part of the administrative team that includes the Superintendent, Chief Officers, Directors, Instructional Supervisors, and building principals. Although the department does not make decisions on curriculum issues, we work hand in hand with the educational leaders to insure that they have the necessary resources - materials, textbooks, technology, equipment, facilities, and transportation - to provide a quality educational program for every student in the school division. If we are performing our duties, then teachers and principals can focus on student learning. We administer and manage the business side of operating a school district. - including such functions as accounting, accounts payable, payroll and benefits, budgeting, procurement, assisting with facility planning, and providing nutritious meal offerings through our school nutrition program.
