dc.description.abstractThe data was collected from school-district-superintendents who purchase the services of ADPC. The data collection instrument was divided into two major categories. The first category dealt with how the information received from the Service Bureau was utilized by the administrators; and the second category dealt with additional reports, if they were available from the Service Bureau would their districts benefit from them.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe study was concerned with the increased paper workload on public school superintendents. It was apparent that batch processing of general information and standard formats would enhance the effectiveness of financial management within school districts. The study analyzed and evaluated the financial information pertaining to the General Fund Account furnished by the Ardmore Data Processing Inc., and what the Oklahoma State Department of Education requires on major reports that the Service Bureau does not furnish.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe findings concluded that the Service Bureau should furnish the districts with a more detailed standardized format to avoid manually recopying information from one form to another; teachers should be involved in recording and reporting some information; reporting for various state and federal agencies should be made on the same month; development of software packages that local schools could use to either do the major accounting now being sold to the company, or programs that could utilize some of the information received from the service bureau to develop standardized information for the State Department of Education.en_US
dc.description.abstractEighty-nine percent of the respondents felt the information they received from the Service Bureau met the goals of the district. Sixty-four percent did not respond to school board participation of these reports in their school board meetings. When asked about additional reports, the following findings were concluded: 72 percent wanted building budgets, 55 percent wanted an accounting of money spent with local merchants, 65 percent wanted a more accurate of recordkeeping related to equipment owned by the district.en_US
