Seattle Public Schools is committed to ensuring a high quality school for every student. To achieve this goal, we are implementing Excellence for All, our five-year strategic plan. Building an infrastructure that works well is a key strategy in Excellence for All. Our Business Operations strategic goals will improve our budget process, create greater efficiency and efficacy district-wide, and ensure that schools have the resources they need to deliver excellence for all students.

We can only help our students excel if our central operations run well. Our Business Operations service areas are not always visible to students or families but their work is very important. These service areas are responsible for hiring staff, paying bills, programming computers and managing all the other details needed to operate 93 school buildings, employ 8,000 staff members and serve nearly 46,000 students.
