The Tax Office tracks the payments throughout the year and must prepare and send a lien list of all unpaid taxes to the County by January of each year. After the lien list is prepared, taxpayers must pay their taxes at the County Office. The District contracts with Berkheimer Associates for the collection of these taxes. The Payroll Office processes biweekly payroll for 1,300 employees and 500 supplemental contracts. This Office coordinates employee deductions for local, state and federal taxes, savings bonds, 403B retirement accounts, state retirement system, credit union, and benefit co-pays.
Employees have the option of a paycheck or direct deposit for their payments.
The Purchasing Office coordinates the District s bids for all supplies and instructional and athletic materials and equipment. This includes advertising, public bid openings, tabulations and preparation of information for Board approval. All procedures must be in compliance with Pennsylvania School Code bidding laws. The District participates in a Joint Purchasing Consortium along with other Chester County districts and some municipalities. This allows for increased purchasing power and lower prices for paper, fuel oil, gasoline, and audio visual equipment, as well as other supplies and services.
