Welcome to the Business Services Department

A diverse group of professionals collaborate around a table, discussing documents.


Business Services encompasses the financial and operational functions related to district operations. As Chief Business Official (CBO), I oversee the departments featured below, each of which contributes to the general financial and operational efforts of the district. 

Business Services also serves as a collaborative bridge within the department and as a liaison between the district and its external partners such as county and state agencies, DSA, construction management, contractors, suppliers, consultants, and other stakeholders. Additionally, the CBO engages with broader educational and operational initiatives, including serving on the boards of the BACAE, CSRM, and CSEBA.

The internal departments work together to support district operations and advance established district priorities through coordinated use of resources. Each department listed below plays an important role in maintaining the district's overall operations.
