Project Updates
Student Registration/Enrollment/Unenrollment
DMPS will have a booth in the East Grandstand at the Iowa State Fair to register returning students for the 2016-17 school year. The booth will also be used to for employee recruitment, student re-engagement, and community outreach.
Summer Payroll
Over the last 5 years, DMPS employees have discussed the possibility of electronic attendance at trainings and professional development. In just 45 days, the summer payroll improvement team mapped out the current state, mapped the future state, put together an action plan and will be piloting that plan in July. Further, paper payroll submissions have been reduced by 97%!
Textbook Inventory
Labor costs have reduced over 500% through the utilization of internal staff. Also, inventory will be complete in June instead of September.
Accounts Payable Disbursement
Electronic invoices can now flow through the accounts payable (AP) process without being printed and re-scanned. Eliminating 50% of printing needs and duplication of work by staff.
