2020-21 Business Office Notes

IMPORTANT: Please examine your first few paychecks carefully and report any discrepancies to the Business Office.

Attendance

All absences (both chargeable and non-chargeable to accumulated time) must be entered into AESOP by logging into the system at https://www.frontlineeducation.com/SignIn or calling 1-800-942-3767. Absences must be entered no later than one hour before your designated start of work time. If an unusual circumstance arises and you are not able to input your absence, call your division’s secretarial support staff. Attendance will be monitored daily and verified by each division.

College or Inservice Credit

If you are planning to earn college credits, please fill out a salary credit application form, obtain your supervisor’s signature and submit it to the Deputy Superintendent’s office.

Disposal/Transfer of Equipment

Equipment cannot be disposed of without the approval of the Chief Financial Officer and the Board. Equipment cannot be moved to another location without notifying the Business Office. Please fill out a disposal/transfer form and submit it to the Business Office. Our local auditors, as well as the State auditors, require that all equipment is accounted for in our inventory system and that we are able to locate each item at any given time.

Regular Monthly Mileage

Mileage claims must be submitted by the end of each month using the Board approved mileage chart for standardized mileages. A MapQuest map must be attached for locations not listed on the mileage chart. Documentation, whenever possible, is required for each mileage claim. Documentation may be a meeting agenda, e-mail confirmation, copy of flyer, copy of meeting notes, etc. Please make sure confidential information is blocked out.
