Background
School
Community Council accounts must comply with The Public Sector
Accounting Principles. These accounts are administered by the CFO.
Procedures
1. Each School Community Council has its own account.
2.
At each SCC meeting the principal will provide a financial report
which outlines the original allocation, the description of any revenues
received, the expenditures made, and the resulting balance that exists
at that particular time.
3. The School Community Council’s responsibility is to approve the expenditure through a motion in the minutes, attach an
AF 112 - Authorization For Expenditure Form.pdf
to the invoice requesting payment, and submit it to the Division
office. On rare occasions when immediate payment is required, the school
petty cash account may be accessed with the principal’s approval.
4.
The School Community Council grant allocations will be considered a
carry-over budget item, thus meaning any amounts not expended during
that particular fiscal year will be carried into the next and the new
allocation added to that carry-over.
