Finance and Facilities
Welcome:
While the magic of learning happens inside our classrooms, the finance, transportation, maintenance, custodial, and child nutrition departments work diligently behind the scenes to build, maintain, fuel, and fund the environment where learning can thrive. From clean hallways and safe bus rides to nutritious meals and sound fiscal management, our goal is simple: to provide the foundation for student success every single day.
We believe that strong schools build strong communities, and we take our role in that partnership very seriously. If you ever have questions, concerns, or feedback regarding any of our operational areas, please do not hesitate to reach out.
What We Do:
Finance & Business Services
We are committed to the highest standards of fiscal responsibility, transparency, and stewardship of public funds. Our team manages budgeting, purchasing, payroll, and financial reporting to ensure that district resources are maximized to directly support classroom instruction and student programs.
Custodial & Maintenance Services
Our schools are more than just buildings; they are safe havens for learning.
- Our Maintenance Team works year-round, keeping our facilities, heating/cooling systems, and structural infrastructure safe, efficient, and fully operational.
- Our Custodial Staff takes pride in maintaining clean and welcoming learning environments so our students and teachers can focus on teaching and learning.
Child Nutrition Services
Healthy bodies fuel active minds! Our child nutrition team, partnered with Chartwells, is excited to serve delicious, balanced, and nutritious breakfast and lunch options in our cafeterias. We adhere to high nutritional standards to ensure every student has access to the wholesome meals they need to stay energized and ready to learn throughout the day.
Transportation
For many of our students, their school day begins and ends with our transportation team. Our professional drivers and monitors are dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation to and from school, athletic events, and field trips. Safety is our absolute number one priority.
