RITTMAN DISTRICT — Board member Dave Plahuta knows a thing or two about school district financials, having retired as a school treasurer, and he likes what he sees in Rittman. “Wonderfully done, Mark,” Plahuta said to Treasurer Mark Dickerhoof after presenting a financial snapshot of how the district finished the 2015-2016 academic year during the school board meeting Tuesday. “We ended the year on a good note,” Dickerhoof said, adding the district was able to add to its cash balance. “We’re hoping to do the same thing in 2017.” The “good note” was ending with $2 million in carry-over funding. Plahuta, who served as a treasurer in Rittman and retired from Polaris Career Center after 25 years, was pleased to revenue came in 1.8 percent higher than anticipated, and the expenses came in 2.5 percent lower than estimated. He liked that Dickerhoof was conservative with his revenue projects and did not over-inflate estimated expenses — the result being a nice carry-over. …show more content…

I am fit for the role of ASB Treasurer because this job requires reliability, attention to detail, and experience, that I believe I will provide. I am currently the 2019 class treasurer and it is only a logical step forward to take on the challenge of being ASB Treasurer. In this last year, I’ve organized two fundraisers, both of which were successful and financially managed by me. I believe in this coming year, I will not only be able to manage the budgeting for my class, but capable of managing it for all four classes. I will be a benefit to the members elected onto the board and to Lawndale

The Wilson School District Board of Directors meets on the first and third Monday of each month to guide the operations of the district through six strategic vision planks. These planks seek to: improve upon or expand Wilson’s portfolio, grow Wilson regionally and nationally, increase organizational agility and capacity, engage in creative development of new and existing infrastructure, create a flatter organizational structure, and control for fiscal accountability. The following is a summary of the meeting which occurred on September 18, 2017, along with observations and conclusions from the perspective of a future district administrator.
Along the same lines, it is important that when individual board members request information it is sent to every single member. Otherwise, the Superintendent gives up the opportunity to understand from where each board member is coming (Effective Superintendent-School Board Relations). This to some extent could be used as informational leverage, which could help down the line when trying to sway support. Keeping records on request is also considered very helpful when working with Boards. It is important that they stay informed, but it is also just as valuable that they get some feedback as to how much information they are requesting. They may tend to back off from requesting so much information. Regardless as to how and how often, the Superintendent must establish a communication system. Boards do not like surprises. It undermines board members ' trust, and makes them look bad, when they hear information about the district from another source (Effective Superintendent-School Board Relations). Getting the Boards trust can assist in creating a team concept.
Revenue recognition is one of the top causes for financial statement restatements. In addition, revenue recognition is an area commonly questioned by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff in their review of public filings and resultant comment letter process. Furthermore, revenue recognition is often prey to financial fraud.
Dr. David Bolton has had an interesting spring, to say the least. He has served in the capacity of the Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education in Central Bucks for two years. At the end of Dr. Bolton’s second year, the retiring Superintendent planned to retire officially on May 30, 2016 but in a series of events involving new School Board members, he was asked to clean out his office on Monday, May 9, 2016. The Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education also retired early in March of 2016, leaving Dr. Bolton currently with the title of Substitute Superintendent until a new Superintendent begins on June 6, 2016. Dr. Bolton has been completing tasks since March as Elementary and Secondary Assistant Superintendents and Substitute Superintendent all at once. My original interview was scheduled with the outgoing superintendent during the week of his departure. In light of this complication, Dr. Bolton was gracious enough to answer my questions in an email but I was unable to interview him in person or on the phone due to his busy schedule.
Prior to coming to Hoke County, Dr. Williamson had already served in a plethora of diverse roles in his educational career (e.g., teacher, assistant principal, vocational-educational director, principal, director of secondary and middle school education, director of personnel, associate superintendent, and a boys and girls basketball coach), therefore becoming a superintendent was inevitable; the school board knew he could advance the Hoke County’s School System, however the “key” was: he was a willing vessel.

Ken Stichter was very appreciative at the opportunity to become the Interim Superintendent, and he couldn’t think of a better way to cap stone his career. He also made the point to thank each of the board members and the principals.
The text states that it is essential that superintendents and school board members communicate effectively to find the best solutions to problems.

I felt being on the board would give me a more in depth knowledge of the district and that I could offer a parent's perspective on the issues the district faces,” Mullion said.

As the Smithville community works to advance the School District, Till does not have the moral compass needed to hold a school board position and represent the students, faculty and administration. Electing someone like Till would be a degression and misrepresentation to the goal of the Smithville School District which is to “build a tradition of excellence” and help students become “proactive, compassionate leaders”. For 13 years of our lives, we look up to adults and seek out mentors in all aspects of the District, whether it be faculty, administration or school board members. We should expect the utmost integrity, respect and commitment out of our community leaders as they try to instill in us, the students.
Due to the information, 20 acres of land equal 80 sheep according to the exchange rate of last year, a one-room cabin equal 3 acres of land and equal 12 sheep finally, a plow equals 2 goat and equal 2/3 sheep according to last year’s exchange rate and 2 carts which were traded with a poor acre of land equals 8 sheep plus 400 sheep.
