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:
