Business Services
Business Services supports the Los Alamitos Unified School District's mission and vision so that the highest quality educational experience can be provided to our students. This support is exhibited by maximizing Los Al's fiscal resources, providing quality educational facilities, and maintaining schools to the highest standards possible. Business Services is made up of the following departments whose broad span of responsibilities promote academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, and public accountability.
Within the division are the following departments:
The Facilities Department provides support over pre-planning, planning, design, bidding, construction and close-out over new construction, modernization and/or physical improvements.
The Fiscal Services Department provides accounting, budget planning, review and analysis for the District. Los Al's record of fiscal responsibility and rich program and service profile is the result of a combination of deliberate fiscal strategies.
The Food Services Department provides nutritious meals at lunch for our students and staff. This Department offers a variety of items each day on the school menus, as well as additional items prepared for catering and special events.
