Many school officials are in the final stages of reviewing plans for the closure of the school district for the upcoming two-week Holiday break. Be sure all cash and checks are deposited before the break. Funds collected on the last day of operations, before the break, need to be deposited at the end of the day before the local bank closes. This is a necessary adjustment to standard procedures for districts that temporarily secure funds in the night deposit box at the local bank until the funds can be counted on the next business day. Also, ensure this procedure is followed by the food service director and athletic director, due to the amount of cash transactions in those areas.
Keep the district's funds secured at all times, no exceptions.
