SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Year-End Financial Calendars for Use by All School and District Level Finance Liaisons (Business Office)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The attached year-end financial calendars are very useful communication tools that have been utilized successfully over the past 11 years. The goal of the Business Division is to have it in the hands of administrators, principals, bookkeepers, and secretaries no later than March 1st of each year. As a planning tool, the year-end calendar provides valuable information regarding warehouse closure for inventory, project end dates, and various other items. The Budget Department compiled input from many departments, (i.e. warehouse, instructional materials and technology) regarding deadline dates for the upcoming months.

The attached calendar months were distributed and discussed with bookkeepers and secretaries at Finance Council meetings in February, and emailed to all principals, administrators, bookkeepers, and secretaries on March 3, 2010. The calendar is also posted in First Class email under Business News, Budget Department.
