Shippensburg district implements PASBO efficiency recommendations; hires assistant business manager and moves to CSIU accounting platform
Summary
Administrators told the board they have implemented many PASBO study recommendations: creating an assistant business manager role, selecting CSIU accounting software (go‑live reported), digitizing forms and ticketing, consolidating some duties and considering a generator for the Operations Building network hub.
District administrators updated the board on progress implementing recommendations from a 2025 PASBO efficiency study covering the business office, technology, transportation and HR.
“Since then, we've been working, in a team to address the suggestions and areas for growth in the study,” said Mrs. Delonge, who outlined completed and ongoing changes. The board approved creating and funding an assistant business manager position and has begun transitioning from ProSoft to the CSIU accounting platform; administrators reported a recent go‑live and said staff setup and security configuration are underway.
Caleb (business office) and his team are running both the old and new systems concurrently while migrating data. “We actually just got the go live last week,” a business office staffer said when asked about rollout timing. District staff said they are evaluating how many years of history to migrate from ProSoft (up to 2016) and developing training protocols for broader staff rollout.
The administration also described workforce changes: elimination of an underused business office secretary position with duties reassigned to a new maintenance and business office assistant role (a budget‑neutral move), digitization of volunteer paperwork and McKinney‑Vento homeless‑student forms, upgrades to transportation and field‑trip software, and standard operating procedures for IT ticketing.
On facilities, the PASBO report recommended considering consolidating administration into a single building; administrators said that recommendation remains under discussion and would be part of larger capital planning because the core network and Internet connection are housed at the Operations Building. Dr. Stevens noted that the district’s network hub is at Operations, which is why any generator to back up servers would need to be located there.
Administrators said the district will continue monthly committee work on job duties, written procedures, succession planning and onboarding protocols as follow‑ups to the study.
