Our school accounting practices need to adhere to accepted accounting practices and safeguards. Cash is always counted by two persons who verify the amount by signatures.Mail is always opened by two persons. All checks have double signature requirements.

Every penny of every dollar spent is spent where it is supposed to be spent. Every single penny of student funds is given a receipt and deposited that day into a local bank. All deposit slips have two signatures. Annual audits are carried out by Certified Public Accountants without any personal relationships with the organization. Practices suggested by the annual financial report are put in place.

The largest amount of school budgets go to personnel. Personnel need to be accountable for every minute of their time. The accountability of personnel to work the agreed upon day, to be physically present and supervise their students every minute, to strive for excellence, provide instruction, keep student on learning tasks, to take care of themselves physically so that they have the drive and passion to carry out their duties with passion and enthusiasm, and to deliver an adequate education to every child, is the true bottom line of our educational system. If this accountability does not exist or is discouraged, the system will fail. If this accountability does exist, is held to by dynamic school leadership that adequately trains teachers, the system will succeed. With personnel being the largest parts of our budget, the teaching and implementation of time management training and skills is essential for all staff members.
