Hillman Community Schools - 2024-25 Top Vendors from Check Register

[Shadowninja]

Dearest reader,

Step 4 means Lady B gets to open the check register.

For Hillman Community Schools, a few vendors caught my attention during the 2024–25 review.

Legal:
Thrun Law Firm P.C. — $6,284.05

Architecture:
Kingscott Associates — $18,144.00

Kagan Cooperative Learning:
$12,242.00

Equipment Financing:
U.S. Bank Equipment Finance — $26,332.18

And then there is this one.

Straley Lamp & Kraenzlein P.C. — $170,515.67

That number certainly got Lady B's attention.

The firm provides accounting and professional services, but the check register alone does not tell us exactly what Hillman received for the $170,515.67 paid during the year.

And Lady B doesn't turn a question into an answer simply because the number is interesting.

So for now, it goes into the ledger exactly as the records show it:

$170,515.67.

No assumptions. No accusations.

Just a rather large breadcrumb that may deserve another look.

Step 4 complete.

Next up: the district's financial position.

With receipts and respect.
