The Gordon County Board of Education's finance department oversees payroll, budget, accounting and finance, purchasing, investments and facilitating internal and external audits. This includes preparation and management of the system's revenue and expense budgets, preparation and maintenance of payroll for all Board employees, assisting the schools with purchasing and acquisition of supplies and materials, and all required state and federal reporting.
