Our Finances

For the past three school years, EdTec has provided excellent business management to Valley Prep Academy. The company prepares state financial and attendance reports and carefully monitors the school's budget. In addition, each month, Mr. Peter Laub gives the Valley Prep Board a financial presentation, keeping members up to date on the latest information, which has been imperative through the difficult state funding cuts.
