About the Role
This position serves as a critical financial and logistical backbone for the Transportation Department, reporting directly to the Executive Director.

The incumbent acts as a steward for the district, students, and community, ensuring all financial operations align with the organization's best interests.
The day-to-day rhythm involves a blend of precise accounting tasks and dynamic logistical coordination. You will process purchase orders, invoices, and expense claims across all Transportation Centers, while managing monthly billing and state reporting requirements for the Texas Education Agency (TEA). A significant portion of the role focuses on the lifecycle management of the district's fleet, from coordinating vehicle inspections and renewals in Fleetvision to handling retirements and license plate logistics. Additionally, the role supports the department's operational continuity by managing petty cash, office supplies, and daycare center compliance.
Working Environment
