Managing the Public’s Educational Resources

Â鶹¹û¶³ Moines Public Schools is proud to be a recipient of the Association of School Business Officials Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting award and the Government Finance Officers Association’s Certificate of Achievement.

The Office of Business & Finance oversees a budget of more than $500 million — the largest school district budget in Iowa and the second largest local government budget in the state.

The department routinely earns national distinctions in financial management from both the Association of School Business Officials and the Government Finance Officers Association.

In addition to managing the school district’s budget, the department also coordinates its development. An important component in that process is public input, including both citizen and employee advisory committees that share ideas about how the district can make the best use of public funds.
