Candy Shenanigans

Welcome to Lincoln at a Glance! The week after Halloween should be a holiday in itself. True, you’re left with costumes your kids will outgrow by next year, but you’re also left with piles of leftover candy. If you live in a busy neighborhood and didn’t get any extras, I’m sure your child would be more than happy to share their spoils with you.

And just a reminder to check your kid’s Halloween candy carefully. I found a detention slip in a Snickers bar (and I’m pretty sure I didn’t do anything wrong).

Read on to learn more about this week!

Change in Finance Office Hours

A couple of years ago the state passed legislation requiring public schools to use a finance system that communicates with the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) finance system. The finance system we have used for many years (Quickbooks Online) is not on the list of systems that will communicate with the USBE system.

In September 2023 we started the process of reviewing financial systems that meet the criteria set out in state code. In Spring 2024 we obtained board approval to sign an agreement with Tyler Technologies to implement School ERP Pro as our new finance system. We started implementation on July 1 with a planned go-live date of October 1.

As we prepare for the Oct 1 go-live date the Finance Office will be closed most mornings between 9am – 12:30pm for implementation meetings. After go-live we expect the number of implementation meetings to decrease, however, we will continue to hold meetings many days from 9am – 12:30pm until about Thanksgiving, as we work on getting financial data from the first quarter into School ERP Pro.

If you have questions for the Finance Office please plan on calling or stopping by before 9am or after 12:30pm.

Thanks!
