Investing in Learning
Business Administration personnel provide valuable financial insight and support to school district and charter schools. District's costs are analyzed in relation to effectiveness as determined by student performance in the region. Technical assistance is provided to school district personnel so each can maintain an efficient operation.
The collection and use of financial data is of vital importance in the success of school districts. Data for improvement of administrative decision-making is a requirement for school administrators and business office personnel as they evaluate their financial status and plan changes in operations. School Finance services provide the assistance in the analysis and evaluation of districts financial data.
Web links and templates on this web page are provided to assist district personnel in determining best alternatives in the use of funding in critical financial decision-making.
