Business & Finance Staff

Welcome to the home page for the Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations!

My name is Julie P. Novak and I have been privileged to serve at FSHISD since July 2010. With over 30 years experience in school business and school district auditing, I truly appreciate how important public education is to our society as a whole.

As is common in small and medium-sized school districts, my duties includes budget, finance, risk management, safety, and oversight of child nutrition, transportation, facilities and construction services. All of these essential services work to ensure that our students and staff have the necessary resources and environment to achieve success.  I am also passionate about professional learning and am an active member of the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO). My TASBO experiences include course instructor, conference and webinar presenter, and Past President.

Together with the business and operations staff members, we are committed to providing excellent customer service to our students and staff members. Feel free to contact me if you need any information or assistance at 210-368-8705 or jnovak@fshisd.net. Follow me on Twitter at @jnovak_julie.
