Business Office

We realize that our unique and primary mission is to educate the children of the Tulpehocken Area School District. In keeping with this mission, we are responsible to the local taxpayers who contribute to meet the revenue needs of the District, so that we may invest wisely in our future, and properly educate the students of the Tulpehocken Area School District. Budgeting, financial reporting, payroll, purchasing, accounts payable, investments, insurances, debt and financing operations are critical to the operation of the business side of the school district. While our objective is to run the financial side of the district like a business, we recognize that our goal is to ensure that all students achieve.
