SUPERINTENDENT'S BUSINESS OFFICE TRANSITION |
Superintendent's Message
Rick Gantman, Superintendent
In October the district’s business manager, Stewart Mhyre, accepted a position with the Bellingham School District. We have hired a school business consultant to provide basic services on an interim basis. Our plan is to hire a permanent person after several months of transition planning.
Consultant services will include:
 |
Maintain routine tasks of the business office, including the preparation of monthly financial reports |
|
Critique current business office practices and make suggestions for improvement |
|
Provide input in the hiring process for our permanent replacement |
|
Provide support before and during: levy election, annual audit, consolidated program review, bargaining with PSE and MBEA, and the preliminary steps of developing the 04/05 budget |
Our plan is to hire a full-time, permanent business manager by the end of January and the consultant will be phased out in March or April.
