Pupil Accounting
Barry ISD works with local school districts ensuring that both the local districts and the ISD have an accurate count of students to generate their state aid. The Michigan Department of Education provides a strict set of procedures that must be followed for districts to qualify for state aid. The pupil accounting department assures that these procedures are followed and that student counts are accurate.
