The Business Office is directly responsible for all financial management, budgeting, investment of funds, insurances, census, accounting, purchasing, and compliance with Erie County, New York State, and Federal reporting requirements.

In addition, the department is generally responsible for the oversight of most non-instructional services, such as capital projects, Buildings and Grounds, Transportation, nursing services, food service, Community Education, enrollment, records management (including all Freedom of Information requests), Worker's Compensation, voting, residency issues, attendance, print shop, mail room, long-range planning, legal matters, and health, safety and wellness issues.

The District employs both an internal controls auditor and an internal claims auditor. In addition, an external audit is performed annually.

Purchasing and contracting for all services, equipment, and supplies are handled through this office in accordance with New York State regulations. The District maintains a list for mail distribution of requests for bids, quotes, and proposals. Interested parties may apply to be included in these mailings, which are purged annually.
