The Finance department is responsible for guiding the School Division through the budget cycle.  The budget cycle is a five-step process to provide every child in the School Division with the best possible educational opportunities while optimizing the use of available resources.  The budget cycle includes planning, preparation, adoption, implementation, and evaluation.  Please follow the 2024 Reports as we move through the current year's cycle.  Additional training is available on the Reports main page.

​

The Finance Department is responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of policies, procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting of the School Division's two accounting systems (one for the division and a separate one for the schools).  The Finance Department provides training and other resources for employees so they can perform their duties while being fiscally prudent with the tax-payer dollars.  In addition, the Finance Department reviews and approves journal and budget entries; ensures proper account coding of transactions; and prepares monthly and annual reports for the School Board and other agencies.
