  • Ann Arbor, Michigan
    Ann Arbor When John Allen and Elisha Rumsey established the town of "Annarbour" in 1824, the two land speculators named the settlement after their wives, both named Ann, and a grove of trees where the women preferred to meet. From that bucolic beginning, Ann Arbor has grown into a city of more than 110,000 people. It is home to one of the nation's finest public universities, and has become a industrial hub for a variety of commercial enterprises, from automotive design to pizza. Since its inception, the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan has collected materials on the history of Ann Arbor and its residents. There are numerous collections that spotlight the city's culture, architecture, history, and a long tradition of social outreach. This guide is designed to inform interested researchers of the existence of unique materials currently held by the Bentley Historical Library. Listed are manuscript collections and selected publications reflecting the life, history and culture of Ann Arbor. These materials are open to researchers for the study of the social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of this community.

  • Account Code Handbook Has Been Updated to Include the Account Code Structure Used by New World, Our New District Financial System
    ANN ARBOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS A C C O UN T C O D E H A NDB O O K Prepared by: PURCHASING & B USIN ESS SUPPO R T SE R V I C ES O PE R A T I O NS DI V ISI O N August 2014 IN T R O DU C T I O N This revised version of the account code handbook has been updated to include the account code structure used by New World, our new district financial system. Some of the components will be familiar, and some have been changed to more closely resemble the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) account code structure. While this handbook focuses mainly on general fund expenditure account codes; similar account code structures are used for athletic, trust and agency, building and site, recreation, and grant funds. To take advantage of the maximum flexibility allowed by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), the school district uses seven­dimension account codes containing twenty­seven digits. The information on the following pages is taken directly from the Michigan Public School Accounting Manual and its recent revisions. This manual establishes uniform classification and recording of accounting transactions for public school districts and academies in the state of Michigan. While the MDE accounting manual remains the authoritative source, this handbook offers a “user­friendly” guide to better understand the Ann Arbor Public Schools’ account codes. All district staff that work with budgets will find it very helpful and a must to have. Karen L.
