Most districts assume their activity fund controls are solid. Wappingers Central School District — one of New York’s largest — had annual audits, trusted staff, and established processes. They still faced a fraud finding.
The gap wasn’t their people. It was a system that couldn’t track every dollar, enforce district policies, or give finance leaders real-time visibility across 15 schools.
Join Assistant Superintendent Kristen Dainty as she shares why a platform that brings payments, disbursements, and school accounting together isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s what real oversight, visibility, and protection of your activity funds actually requires.
In this session:
- The risk hiding in your activity and extracurricular funds — and why most finance leaders can’t see it until it’s too late
- How Wappingers is transforming activity fund oversight with a purpose-built school finance platform — and what that looks like in practice
- Why process, trust, and digital payment tools aren’t enough — and what a unified school finance platform makes possible
