Business and Finance

The Camp Hill School District Business Office is dedicated to ensuring strong and responsible financial management. The District recognizes that as caretakers of public funds, it has a duty to operate with transparency and accountability, protecting the financial integrity of the community’s investment.

• Budget preparation

• Financial accounting

• Processing payables and receivables

• Managing risk and insurance

• Purchasing and procurement

• Overseeing capital improvement initiatives

Beyond these responsibilities, the Business Office also supervises essential operational departments such as buildings and grounds, human resources, and food services.

A central role of the Business Office involves collaborating with the School Board to design the annual budget. This financial plan serves as the District’s roadmap for delivering high-quality instruction and programs that enable every student to reach academic success. Both the School Board and District Leadership Team place the utmost importance on fiscal accountability and prudent spending, while ensuring the budget remains focused on instructional priorities. Each year, the Superintendent and School Board Directors adopt a budget that supports educational excellence and maintains financial health within the District’s available resources.

The District’s fiscal year extends from July 1 through June 30. Budget development for the upcoming year typically begins in early October. During this phase, teachers and administrators submit projected expenses for the following school year, including anticipated costs for materials, supplies, equipment, and textbooks. At the same time, the Business Office estimates revenues, staffing requirements, and district-wide expenditures such as utilities, debt obligations, staff benefits, and insurance.
