School Business Alerts

Begining in the 1989-1990 school year, the Department provided to school business officials in districts and area education agencies (AEA) information on new initiatives or emerging issues in school business management in an electronic newsletter, called the School Business Alert. Now state and national professional associations are providing school business officials with similar information. The Department continues to provide some emails periodically to school business officials directly or through their professional associations of information to highlight. A copy of those recent School Business Alert emails are posted here.
