"Working Behind the Scenes for Kids"
The Business Office’s Mission is to provide a high level of financial services to our staff and students

Welcome to the Walla Walla Public Schools Business Office and Support Services. The Business Office is responsible for preparation and monitoring of the school district’s budget, financial statements, insurance, and reports. Our office processes payroll for approximately 840 employees each month. We also process 6,000 vouchers each year.

Ensuring that every pupil receives the highest quality education possible with the resources available is a top priority of the Walla Walla School District. This means not just controlling costs and maintaining effective internal controls, but also ensuring that every dollar spent is effectively prioritized and allocated to achieve the maximum benefit possible to every student. This focus ensures that strong academic programs for students are maintained and, at the same time, costs are controlled for taxpayers.
