ClassWallet Bookkeeping and Technology Survey Results
At ClassWallet we’re always joking that no company sells less efficiency and increased costs. Most technology companies position themselves as a solution that saves time and money, but what that means to people differs considerably. We’ve been told by clients they save, on average, 5 hours a week in school bookkeeping time managing teacher orders and receipt reimbursement on our platform. We wondered what impact this really has in the daily lives of these administrators. So we asked districts of all sizes across the country what the effects would be from freeing up 5 hours each week for their bookkeepers, and here’s what they had to say.
A Conversation on Teacher Empowerment and Classroom Spending Decisions
The recent national headline “Teachers Quit Jobs at Highest Rate on Record” may be striking news to some, but it’s just an echo in the educator community. Teacher feedback consistently shows that salary is a primary motivator for job satisfaction. However, it’s frequently additional frustrations (working conditions, weak support, lack of autonomy, etc.) that fuel the final decision to walk away from what was formerly a passion for many.
The Value of Time and Technology in the Business Office
At ClassWallet we’re always joking that no company sells less efficiency and increased costs. Most technology companies position themselves as a solution that saves time and money, but what that means to people differs considerably.

How To Keep & Retain The Millennial Teacher
We sat down with international education consultant Jennifer Abrams to discuss what is needed for schools to keep and retain the millennial teacher and help this generation thrive. Millennials make up the largest percentage of teachers, yet only 6% of superintendents think their district understands the needs of millennial teachers
Do You Know What Motivates Millennial Teachers?

How the Finance Office Can Alleviate Teacher Shortage Problems
Providing teachers more control over classroom decisions is far more financially effective and efficient than trying to find ways to boost teacher salaries. If a teacher is choosing employment between two districts and District A gave each teacher a classroom budgeting tool that contained some funds for supplies, easy access to crowdfunding tools, additional funding that may originate from federal or local grants or PTA, and District B did not, what district do you think the teacher will choose to work for?
Preventing P-Card Abuse & Fraud in Your District
Fraud and audit violations often happen with organizations that use Procurement-cards (P-Cards). One reason is that P-Card fraud and misuse can be difficult to recognize until it ends up in the news. Internal controls are meant to decrease fraud and abuse, however, P-Card purchasing data is limited. This is one reason the misuse of funds occurs as frequently as it does. Reconciliation reviews and monthly reports can identify suspicious activity, but don’t stop the fraud from occurring.
Empowering Teachers with Classroom Budgets
I have been working with teachers across our country for 20 years. In 1998, I started AdoptAClassroom.org, funding classrooms in 30% of school markets, and in 2014 I launched ClassWallet, a spend management software. In 2018, I have never seen teacher discontent as high as it is now. Teachers are striking across the nation; teacher absenteeism is now a chronic problem; approximately 50% of teachers leave the profession after just 5 years.

The following is an excerpt from Ester Wojcicki’s Teacher Empowerment post on Medium: Teachers are striking across the country. Fifty percent of teachers leave the profession after just five years. Teacher absenteeism is a national problem. Teachers are mad, frustrated and fed up. Salary is a focal point but their ire is rooted in more than that.

It includes additional funds, “weights,” based on percentages of foundation funding revenue to offset the higher education costs associated with certain student and school demographics.”
