[Busmgrs] FW: ODE and State School Fund

[RYAN Debby]

> Message from Ed Dennis, Deputy Superintendent of the Oregon Department
> of Education:
> 
> Many of you have received an e-mail message from an ex-employee of the
> Oregon Department of Education.  I want to take this opportunity to
> correct some misinformation.
> 
> Ensuring accurate State School Fund (SSF) payments is a high priority
> of the ODE.  We work in partnership with business officials in every
> school district to review ADM information to make sure it is correct.
> Historically, any adjustments in collection and/or estimates are
> corrected by May.  It is a normal part of doing business, and ODE is
> on track to meet that timeline for this year.  
> 
> Last week, ODE made changes its organizational structure in order to
> improve data collection and reporting, and one of those changes was to
> the administration of the state school fund:
> 
> ADM collection and reporting has been moved under the direction of the
> Office of Assessment and Information Services.   State School Fund
> payments have been moved under the direction of the Office of Finance
> and Administration.  This organization allows for a better system of
> "checks and balances" than we had under the previous arrangement.
