<p class="MsoNormal">Ladies and Gentlemen,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am delighted to send word that the 2017 Program Budgeting and Accounting Manual (PBAM) has a more prominent location on ODE’s website. The new link is –
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/ode/schools-and-districts/finance/Pages/default.aspx">
http://www.oregon.gov/ode/schools-and-districts/finance/Pages/default.aspx</a> - then scroll down to the bottom of the page.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For direct access: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From ODE’s homepage <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Click on the ‘Schools and District’s dropdown<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Click on ‘Finance’<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scroll to the bottom of the page<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that if you do a ‘Search’ for the PBAM, the system still pulls links to old editions. Hopefully until that wrinkle is ironed out, this new location will provide easy access to the latest PBAM edition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good luck with your budgets. A friendly reminder to make sure you do not appropriate any unappropriated ending fund balances (7000)
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span>. Please don’t hesitate to contact me let me if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
