Our Mission
The Aldine ISD Accounts Payable Department is often “silent” in the operations of the District.
Accounts Payable is the unit of the Finance Department responsible for processing payments for goods, services, and other non-salary expenses incurred by the Aldine Independent School District. The mission of the Accounts Payable Department is to provide payment services to Aldine ISD and the Vendor Community while controlling all disbursements made from District funds. This includes insuring that all disbursements are accurate, processed in a timely manner, and made in compliance with established policies and procedures. In addition, disbursements must meet the rules and regulations of governmental agencies-federal, state, and local.
The Accounts Payable Department works as a team to process invoices into the system ensuring the invoices are paid in a timely manner and as smooth as possible. We envision this task to be accomplished in an atmosphere of cooperation and friendliness within and outside of Accounts Payable, always maintaining a professional and dignified image.
