BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
We have several departments within our Business and Operations Area including Business Office, Public Relations, Technology, Food Service, Transportation, and Maintenance.
CENTRAL/BUSINESS/PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICE:
Climax-Scotts Community Schools operates on a budget funded mainly by state aid and property taxes. The budget is managed by the business office, the Superintendent and the Board of Education in accordance with state regulations. An independent accounting firm conducts annual audits. Within the audit is the management discussion and analysis that offers financial statements about Climax-Scotts Community Schools for that fiscal year.

If you think there is a possibility that you might qualify, please fill it out as soon as possible. Please make sure you follow directions carefully as failure to do so may cause delays in the final approval process. This information is highly confidential and treated with the utmost respect.
