January 1 is just a holiday. In BOCES World, July 1 is New Year’s Day as we roll over the fiscal calendar. So the last week of June and the first weeks of July are busy, busy. Completing end of the year reports, setting up budgets and purchase orders to purchase goods and services in the new fiscal year, completing contracts and finalizing requests from schools.
Here’s a picture of the top of my desk this morning. You can see that it’s all about the paperwork! Nothing like forms in triplicate to remind you that you are just a cog in a vast and ever-moving wheel!
Still, it all needs to be done so that you can go back to concentrating on your program – which is why you took this job in the first place, right?
So it’s all paperwork all the time this week and next.
Happy New Year!
