Is your district anticipating a fiscal staffing need?

ESCWR is assessing current and upcoming needs for Payroll Specialists, Accounting Specialists, Assistant Treasurers, and Treasurers/Chief Fiscal Officers.

Whether your district is planning for a retirement, leave of absence, vacancy, part-time need, or temporary/interim coverage, we want to better understand where support may be needed.

ESCWR is building a network of fiscal professionals and exploring ways to help districts maintain continuity when staffing needs arise.
