Business Operations

Mission Statement

The Department of Business Operations is responsible for managing the financial resources of GPISD to make the Grand Prairie schools the finest anywhere. Every transaction we complete leads to our ultimate goal: maximize student achievement. Budget decisions and resource allocations are made by the personnel who directly impact the learning process. Campus principals and staff play an active role in making requests that are aligned with the district’s vision statement, and the 5 district Improvement Plan goals. Significant budget savings were realized when we focused only on the five district improvement plan goals identified for student achievement.

They are:

DIP Goal 1 – Student Achievement

DIP Goal 2 – Unlocking Leadership, Recruitment, Support and Retention of Personnel

DIP Goal 3 – Parent/Community Engagement

DIP Goal 4 – Instructional Technology

DIP Goal 5 – Safe and Orderly Environment

GPISD staff is focused on these five goals and all expenditures are aligned with them. The GPISD Office of Business Operations is committed to excellence in financial management, customer service, and financial transparency for stakeholders in GPISD.
