Pamlico County Schools is thrilled to announce the successful deployment of 1:1 devices to students, made possible by the dedicated work of our Technology Department. Thanks to a staggered student deployment plan, the tech team was able to be physically present in each school building to ensure devices were distributed smoothly and efficiently.

The staggered deployment allowed for smaller groups of students to receive their devices at a time, giving the tech department the opportunity to provide hands-on support, troubleshoot any issues, and ensure that every student was set up for success. With this thoughtful approach, the team ensured a seamless process for both students and teachers, reducing potential delays or disruptions in the learning process.

The Pamlico County Schools Finance Department is excited to share several new initiatives that are increasing efficiency and convenience for both staff and employees across the district.

1. Electronic Pay Stubs and Leave Balances: The district has successfully transitioned from paper pay stubs to an electronic system, giving employees direct access to their pay stubs and leave balances. This change not only saves on paper, envelopes, and labor costs but also provides employees with easy access to their W-2s for current and previous years, enhancing convenience and reducing paper waste.

2. Budget Management Training with LINQ: To support better financial management, the finance department has provided training and access to the LINQ financial software for all department directors. This system allows directors to monitor and manage their budgets more effectively, ensuring greater fiscal responsibility throughout the year.

3. Direct Deposit for Travel Reimbursements: In the near future, the department will introduce direct deposit for travel reimbursement payments. This will allow employees to receive their travel settle-up payments quickly and efficiently, without waiting on a paper check, further streamlining financial processes.

The Finance Department is proud to continue its efforts to modernize systems and provide better support for the staff of Pamlico County Schools.
