Welcome to the Office of Business and Finance!
Tracy Lewis is elated to continue her career at the Canton Public School District, as the Director of Business Finance. Ms. Lewis brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to CPSD.
The mission of the Office of Business and Finance is to ensure that the financial resources of the district are administered effectively to support teaching and learning.
We are responsible for the planning, management, and stewardship of the school district’s financial resources. We operate on the principles of sound budgeting practices, cost-effective operations, prudent fiscal management and most of all, integrity, as we handle the daily business affairs of the district. We acknowledge that we are indeed accountable to the local taxpayers; therefore, we endeavor to practice good stewardship over what we have been entrusted.
The district operates on a fiscal cycle that begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following year.
Our activities are reviewed by external independent auditing services on an annual basis to ensure the accuracy of financial reporting and to be certain that all required rules, regulations, laws and Board policies are being adhered to.
