Business Office

FY24 Public Hearing - Budget Presentation

FY23 Approved Budget at Town Meeting 5-3-22

The Business Office provides all the business functions in supporting the efforts of everyone in our school district as we prepare our students for the challenges of today’s 21st century education. We are located at 5 West Street in Auburn in the Central Office (Randall School). The Business Office staff includes:

Gina Alves, Payroll and Business Assistant

Gina Alves' responsibilities include payroll and personnel as well as oversight of those functions relating to staff issues such as benefits, workers compensation, unemployment compensation, etc.

Mrs. Sharil Morin, Accounts Payable and Business Assistant

Mrs. Morin responsibilities include accounts payable, general ledger and grants management.

These responsibilities only represent a small portion of the work we accomplish each day in the Business Office.

The Business Office works with the Town of Auburn to ensure that all financial and personnel transactions are completed in a timely manner. As the Business Manager, I work closely with the Superintendent of Schools, Administrators, Principals and School Committee in maintaining appropriate financial information and safeguarding the funds provided to the school district by the citizens of Auburn. Once a month financial statements are produced, accounts are reconciled and reports are provided to the School Committee. Annually a fiscal year budget is prepared starting by assessing the needs of each school. After weeks of review and preparation it is presented to the School Committee who makes recommendations and submits it to the town for their review. After discussions and negotiations it is presented to the citizens at the Annual Town Meeting for their approval. The monthly financial data along with the annual fiscal year budgets can be found below in various folders. Additionally, I oversee our school bus transportation vendor contract.

As your school business manager I am proud to be a member of an outstanding school team and welcome your comments and feedback. I can be reached at (508)832-7750 or via email.
