Business Services

The JCISD Finance Department is responsible for managing the district’s total budget of over $100 million spread across three major operating funds and several smaller special purpose funds. Each fund is treated as a separate entity as required by state law since the revenue of certain funds is restricted and can only be used for specific purposes. The department also provides business services to 7 local school districts in Jackson County.

Developing fiscally responsible budgets and then tracking year-to-date progress against these budgets is a main focus of the Finance Department. Providing payroll service for 7 districts and approximately 1,500 school district employees is another important role, as is paying all the bills and monitoring the cash flow of these districts. Meeting all reporting deadlines and staying informed of the many new regulatory requirements and audit standards is also a constant focus of the Finance Department. 

The JCISD Operations staff is responsible for maintaining the district’s facilities and grounds. This includes a total of over 440,000 square feet of floor space, and almost 200 acres of grounds on the district’s north campus, south campus, Central Campus and Camp McGregor.
