From the CEO
Greetings,
We hope your 2018 has been off to a strong start! Here at ClassWallet, it gets us excited when we see our customers sign up for one use of our product and then start using it in other ways. We wanted to share with you the diversity of applications for ClassWallet so you can see what other districts use the platform for:
Title I grants
PTA donations
State and local grants
Managing school kiosk budgets
LCAP (California only)
School maintenance budget
Professional development & travel
Districts are consolidating their fragmented and decentralized processes through ClassWallet. One of our Louisiana customers shares why:
“Our users LOVE ClassWallet because they can use it anywhere, anytime with an internet connection; they don’t have to keep up with receipts, and there are no reports to file.”
Dianne Alison, CPA, CGMA, CGFO, CLSFBA
Business Service Director, Ascension Parish School District
