summary
The primary job goal of the Accounting Specialist is to ensure timely, effective, efficient, and accurate accounting of the district’s accounts payable systems and to provide general support to the Business Office.
Thank you for your interest in joining the Bloomingdale Public Schools team. Located in southwest Michigan, our district spans the northern portion of Van Buren County and the southern edge of Allegan County. We proudly serve approximately 920 students in grades K–12 and are known for our strong community roots, innovative programs, and a culture built on relationships, support, and opportunity.
This is an exciting time to become part of our district. We are currently in the first phase of a $17 million bond project that is modernizing our facilities and instructional spaces across the district, with completion expected in 2026. Our business office plays a vital role in supporting these efforts—and we are looking for a motivated, detail-oriented individual to join us as an Accounting Specialist.
At Bloomingdale, you won’t be just another employee—you’ll be a valued part of a collaborative team working to make a difference for students, staff, and the community. Our schools are small enough to build strong personal connections, yet ambitious in providing high-quality experiences in academics, athletics, the arts, and career/technical education.
This position offers the chance to work in a professional, supportive environment where your skills in organization, accuracy, and financial systems will contribute to the district’s ongoing success. With a healthy fund balance, strong leadership, and a growing vision for the future, Bloomingdale Public Schools is a great place to work and grow.
We hope you’ll consider joining our Cardinal family.
Sincerely,
Rick Reo
Superintendent, Bloomingdale Public Schools
