Welcome to the District and Business Office!
We are responsible for preparing accounting records and producing financial reports while ensuring that our school district complies with state and federal laws. At least monthly, we measure the expected outcome of all revenue and expense amounts to the actual amounts received and spent. Through this continuous monitoring process, we are able to make accurate revenue and expenditure projections, which is crucial for long-term planning in the district.
Each summer, the district is also audited by an external auditor. This process takes several weeks to complete. Financial records are reviewed and testing is performed in order for the auditor to attest that our financial statements are accurate. Completed audit reports can be found on the school website.
The Business Office utilizes a multi-year financial plan which includes revenue and appropriation projections, monitoring the tax cap calculation, and strategic use of reserves and fund balance. This type of planning allows the Board of Education and administrators to make thoughtful and informed decisions regarding district goals and priorities that have a lasting impact on the district.
Pulaski has a tradition of sound financial planning, and we take very seriously our obligation to safeguard the district’s fiscal health while providing a robust educational program for our children. The PACS Board of Education and administrative team will continue to communicate, collaborate, and be strategic with our resources to build a program that we can all be proud of.
