Our mission is to help to ensure that our district uses tax dollars responsibly to support our commitment to student learning. Our work includes several departments, such as payroll & benefits, accounts payable and accounting. Each year, we oversee the budget development process.

Our staff is here to support our schools, families, staff and community. Please contact us if you need more information about the district’s finances or business processes.
