[Busmgrs] August 2016 SSF Statements

[KREIN Adam - ODE]

Good Afternoon!

It was great meeting many of you in beautiful Bend Oregon at the OASBO conference last month. For the rest, I'd like to introduce myself.

Prior to becoming the State School Fund Coordinator, I was working at the Oregon Lottery. While at the Lottery, I was in Gaming Security for eight years and an IT Analyst for another two years. I've also been in the U.S. Coast Guard for the past 14 years where I am a First Class Petty Officer and currently work at Station Portland Small Boat Operations.

I grew up in Tillamook and have lived in Pendleton, Lake View and now Keizer with my 3-year old son Camden, girlfriend Angela, and our retriever Summer. My educational background is in Criminal Justice with a Bachelor's degree in Intelligence Analysis.

I am really excited to get to know all of you and use my diverse background to develop new ways to help serve our students, districts and stakeholders.

I'd also like to thank and acknowledge Michael Elliott for all of the great work he has done these past five years as the SSF Coordinator. Fortunately for me, he will be just down the hall if I have questions, but I will try to field as many questions as I can, as I know he will be busy as the School Facilities Coordinator and standing up the Facilities programs. I'll also be working closely with Mike Wiltfong and others in the Agency, so don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

As a reminder, I'd like to make sure everyone is aware of the September 1 deadline for submitting your annual transportation report. The reason I bring this to your attention is we experienced a lot of challenges with making updates to the SSF last spring, as there were a number of school districts that didn't submit their report until just prior to the May payment. As with all data collections used for the SSF, we need a complete set before we can roll the data into the system. Thank you in advance for your help with this.

With that, the August Statements are posted to the web at the following links:

Lastly, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and are excited for the upcoming school year.

Thank you,

Adam Krein
