Welcome to the Business Services Office. Our mission is to ensure responsible financial management that supports the educational success of all students in the Marshfield School District. With a long-standing tradition of fiscal responsibility, the district's strong financial position is attributed to conservative spending practices and accountability upheld by past and present school boards. The district's financial reserves have increased steadily over the past decade and average approximately 27% of total General Fund expenditures. Moody's Investors Services recently affirmed the District's Aa2 bond rating. For many years, the school district has not needed to short-term borrow to cover cash flow needs, another sign of fiscal solvency and stability.

✔ Accounting and financial reporting
