Business Office

  •  The Business Department is responsible for the overall fiscal management of the District. This includes budget preparation, payroll processing and reporting, purchasing of goods and services and accounts payable/receivable.

     

    Menlo Park City School District is a community-funded district with an annual operating budget of $54 million dollars. The District has approximately 3,000 students at five schools (grades K-8) with a staff of about 360 employees.  

     

    Local property taxes make up the majority of the District’s revenue.  The District also receives substantial support from the community in the form of parcel taxes and contributions to both the Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation (MPAEF) and each school’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). This support is critical to making our school district the unique district that it is with excellent teachers and programs and low student to teacher ratios.  Only a minimal amount of funding is received from federal and state sources.
