Business Services
What We Do
The South San Francisco Unified School District’s business services department is responsible for the planning, organizing, and monitoring of numerous program budgets within the district. These programs include all educational programs for the district's more than 8,000 students, children center operations, nutritional services, technology services, and facilities and grounds maintenance.
The mission of the department is to provide fiscal and business support to our administrators and managers, so that they can make informed decisions with respect to their programs and needs of program participants. We strive to provide these support services effectively, efficiently, and in a timely manner, and we also seek to communicate and report to the public in a transparent fashion the fiscal health of the district on a regular and ongoing basis.
