Meet the New Money Maestro Keeping Our Schools Super Strong!
Ever wonder who's behind the scenes making sure our school district has the dough to keep everything running smoothly? From textbooks to technology, field trips to facilities, managing a school district's budget is no small feat – it's like juggling a million sparkly balls while riding a unicycle!
Well, get ready to give a HUGE welcome to the brilliant mind who's just stepped up to tackle that challenge for the Brea Olinda Unified School District: Jessica Boomer!
Jessica is our new Director of Fiscal Services, and let me tell you, she's not just new to the title; she's a seasoned pro with over 15 years of experience making school district finances shine. She's worked her way up through the ranks in other districts, mastering the art of budgeting, state reporting, cash flow, and making every penny count. Basically, when it comes to school money, she knows her stuff inside and out!
But here's the really cool part: Jessica isn't just a financial wizard; she's one of us! She's a proud resident of Brea, and her two children are right here, learning and growing in BOUSD schools. How awesome is that? It means she's got a personal stake in making sure our district is fiscally fit and transparent. She's not just balancing books; she's investing in her own kids' future, and by extension, all our kids' futures!
Superintendent Brann put it perfectly, saying Jessica's "depth of knowledge and experience... will be an incredible asset to our school district." And Jessica herself is "thrilled to join the BOUSD team," promising her dedication to "fiscal transparency and integrity." Sounds like a win-win for everyone, right?
So, next time you see a shiny new piece of tech in a classroom, or notice how well-maintained our school grounds are, remember there's a financial superhero like Jessica making sure the funds are there to make it all happen. Let's give her a big, warm Brea welcome!
